Odysseus: Okay, I’ve come up with a 3-step plan to get Helen to marry you! Menelaus: . . . Okay . . . Odysseus: Step one - invite her to play Truth or Dare Menelaus: Oh gods Odysseus: Step two - wait until she picks dare, which she will because I’ll be making chicken noises at her Menelaus: dude no Odysseus: Step three - DARE her to marry you! Helen, from the other room: It could work!

Odysseus and Menelaus share a kylix of "Loving Your Wife Juice" every morning before they head out to fight.

Aphrodite: I know I'm the one who torn them apart, but I'm surprised to see Menelaus going this length to get Helen back.

Aphrodite: His love for her is so enduring and I got to give him kudos for that.

Aphrodite: It feels wrong for me to say but I have to say it.

[before the war]

Menelaus: I eat Cheerios because they’re heart-healthy, and my heart has been severely damaged.

Menelaus:

Menelaus: So Helen, if you’re out there—

I am once again, consumed by the idea of muscular Helen of Sparta, wielding a sword and making Menelaus blush. Menelaus' personality is said to be pleasant and nicer than his brother (not that that's hard) so...soft man Menelaus, hello?

What a wonderful family I hope nothing happens to it

the great war by taylor swift is sooo helen and menelaus coded

Someone should write something where it's the Greek heroes from the Iliad watching odysseus during the odyssey from the afterlife. like achilles and company just being like yea fuck that guy up man. u got that. or he's crying over missing penelope and telemachus and they just feel bad for him or smth.

could also be them all listening/watching the epic songs/animatics 🦭

(even tho a lot of them don't die it's a fun idea in theory)

After the Oath of Tyndareus

Menelaus :I would also like to give a shout out to my fellow nominees. Who will now and forever, be know as the guys that lost to the Fucking Ginger, Second second son, of greeks most cursed family

paris and helen had an affair because of the gods…… menelaus and helen had a life together despite of the gods,,,,,, don’t compete with what you can’t compare!🙃

Menelaus, to the waiter: A milkshake with two straws, please. Helen, blushing: I didn’t take you for the romantic ty- Menelaus, putting both straws in his mouth: Watch how fast I can fucking drink this.

I'm happy that the "Helen is of Sparta, not Troy" post is getting seen and people are giving love to her as they should but I'm getting a wee bit frustrated by the Menelaus inclusion with the whole "She was a possession to others and never had a choice".

Yes, Helen is a victim of fate and multiple horrible circumstances. She gets kidnapped by Theseus and Paris. So much blame is being put on her when she really isn't at fault and doesn't have much choice.

A choice she made though? WAS MENELAUS!

The Oath of Tyndareus was all about how "If you want to have a chance of marrying her, you have to swear to respect her and her choice and defend their marriage if it's needed".

If anything, Menelaus was her "prize"! Not the other way around!!! And they are clearly shown caring for one another!!! uyfuygluhyutfugy

Helen: *gestures at the river* This is the Eurotas River, where all the royalties of Sparta will take the love of their lives on their first date. Helen: King Lacedaemon took Queen Sparta. King Amyclas took Queen Diomede. Prince Hyacinthus took Lord Apollo. My father took my mother. Menelaus: That's a nice place for a date, but why are you bringing me here? Did you have anyone to take here yet? Helen:

Menelaus has 3 moods:

He's so cute l love him (you can see the first pic as Odysseus if you want)

vera and I are reading the odyssey out loud and woah. it's good. you hear about this?

Early into the marriage, Helen looks at Menelaus like he hung the stars.
