WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Helen’s suitors-including Odysseus-came from all parts of Greece, and from among them she chose Menelaus, Agamemnon’s younger brother. During an absence of Menelaus, however, Helen fled to Troy with Paris, son of the Trojan king Priam, an act that ultimately led to the Trojan War .

Detailed explanation-2: -The suitor who won was Menelaus (Tyndareus, not to displease the mighty Agamemnon offered him another of his daughters, Clytaemnestra). The rest of the suitors swore their oaths, and Helen and Menelaus were married, Menelaus becoming a ruler of Sparta with Helen after Tyndareus and Leda abdicated the thrones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Helen’s beauty soon became legendary and many men wanted to possess her. She was kidnapped by Theseus, who raped her and then departed on a mission to rescue the goddess Persephone from Hades. In his absence, Helen was rescued and taken home to Sparta. There she was immediately thronged with suitors.

Detailed explanation-4: -All the suitors swore the oath; Tyndareus chose Menelaus and handed over the kingdom of Sparta along with Helen. Agamemnon married Clytemnestra, Helen’s half-sister, and returned to his kingdom of Argos.
