Well, it's a time period where everyone is all "Oh! The Greeks! The Classics! Meaningfulness!"
Most of the "Great Love" idea comes from Philip's view, which she then picks up when she reads the letters, but she seems to be over being smitten with it by the end. I think, though, that it plays into the idea of them as Paris and Helen, because both times, it's her getting caught up in his decision.
