Described as "fair-haired" by [[Homer]] in the [[Iliad]], Menelaus the mythological king of [[Sparta]]. He was the son of [[Atreus]] and brother of [[Agamemnon]] who had won the hand of [[Helen]] the most beautiful woman on Earth. It is said that all of Helen's suitors - including King [[Idomeneus]] of [[Crete]], [[Ajax]] of [[Salamis]], etc - had promised that they would support the winner should he ever have need of it. Thus started the [[Trojan War]], when [[Helen]] was seduced by Trojan prince [[Paris]] and Menelaus asked his wife's former suitors to make good on their pledge.

	In the ''[[Iliad]]'' Menelaus fights bravely and well, even when wounded, and distinguishes himself particularly by recovering the body of [[Patroclus]] after the latter is killed by [[Hector]]. Although he is depicted as a reasonably wise and just leader, he has a tendency to rattle off fatuous bromides in the most inappropriate circumstances.
