eva was the first woman ever created (judaic tradition), helen the most beautiful woman (greek mythology) and cleo[patra] another legendary beauty (egyptian history).
"Eclipsing Eva, Cleo and Helen of Troy" refers to something surpassing the beauty of womanhood. think of something beyond some of the greatest woman in people's collective memory.

what mirko has giiven is one way putting it across but few others have different meaning to it.
Eva is the first women but because she had the apple,it led to the destruction of peace what god created.here curiosity is the cause for it.
Helen of troy was the most beautiful women during the period of achilles.her beauty led to the destruction of one of the great nation troy,complete extinction.beauty is the cause here
cleopatra was another powerful and beautiful woman of egypt who was the reason behind for the downfall of marc anthony but also the egypt.here her over ambition is the cause.
but u look into history they r actualyy not the reason for the downfall.
because of eve,today we r here(nothing go to do with religion).
Helen,even though most beautiful,could not find love and respect in greece which she found in troy,agamenon was anyways very ambitious and always wanted troy,one way or the other way he would have got into a war.
Cleopatra was the queen of egypt and after death of julius caesar she had to play safe,as she could not trust anybody.
