For nine long years the siege Of
Troy lasted. but during the tenth
year. Hector negotiated a treaty
whereby Menelaus and Paris should
fight a duel. TO determine the victor.
Paris was overcome in the duel,
but "a rescued by Aphrodite. only
to fall a victim to an arrow from the
bow OF Hercules.
Thereupon tradition tells us that
Helen married Paris brother. Del
phObus. whom she betrayed nto the
hands OF Menelaus when Troy was
captured.
In spite OF the calamities which
Helen had brought upon them. the
Troians adored Helen and suffered
through nine long years rather than
surrender her 10 her own people.
The charm OF this wonderful wo-
man must have been great. for Meme

"HE a OF the face that
launched a thousand ships is
one so familiar TO US all and 50
more or less shrouded in mystery
that It's hard to know just when or
where II began.
However. tradition tells US that
Helen was the daughter Of Zeus and
Leda. and a sister OF Castor and
Pollux and Cytemnestra. When a
child she was carried off from Sparta
by Thesus. but was recovered and
restored to her home by her brothers.
When she grew up. 70 great was
her beauty that suitors came from
near and far TO win her, but her
father finally decided on Menelaus,
the Spartan king. as the most eli
gible.
We are told that Helen led a
model life in the early years OF her
marriage. and that she had a lovely
daughter. Hermione. However, one
as lovely as Helen could not long re-
main the center OF a picture OF do
nestle happiness and when the
young Paris arrived In Sparta. to
visit Menelaus. whether IL was the
glamour OF his encourage or the won
derfui beauty Of the man himself,
the fact remains that they fell head
long In love with each other.
True. Paris did violate all the
rules OF hospitality, inasmuch as ne
not only robbed Menelaus' palace.
but he AIS carried the more or less
willing Queen aboard his ship and
sailed away.
Naturally. Menelaus resented this
most fragrant violation OF his hospi.
tality. and promptly enlisted the
