Producer-director Nick Harris's production is not intended to be a carbon copy of the Athenian Helen, originally presented in 412 B.C. the 1692-line original, which would have lasted about three hours without intermissions, has been cut by approximately two-thirds.

But today's many and various replacements, made of such space-age materials as Teflon, the nonstick plastic, and pyrolytic carbon, a diamond-hard substance, are far more sophisticated. Unlike earlier devices, which were worn outside the body and usually removed at night, they are true replacements, designed to be implanted permanently and to duplicate, if not actually improve upon nature.
