Menalay

**Menelay** — Mikena kralı Aqamemnonun qardaşı və Helenin əri. Sparta şahzadəsi Helenlə evlənmiş və Helenin atasının istəyi ilə Sparta kralı olmuşdur. Yaxşı bir döyüşçü olmağa layiq keyfiyyətlərə malik bir əsgər idi. Troya şahzadəsi Paris Heleni qaçırdır. Əlbəttə Helen də buna etməyə razı idi. Menelay dəli olur və qardaşından kömək istəyir. Qardaşı bütün Yunan şəhər-dövlətlərini əvvəlcədən bir hakimiyyət altında cəmləməyi bacarmışdı. Buna görə, Yunanıstanın hamısı Troya üzərinə müharibəyə getmişdi. Müharibədən sonra Menelay Heleni geri alır və Spartaya qayıdır. Onlar birlikdə qocalır və ölürlər.

Helenlə Hermiona adlı bir qızları var. Ancaq Hermiona heç vaxt anasını bağışlamamışdı, çünki anası onu tərk edərək Paris ilə Troyaya qaçmışdı.
