Oh yes, I love Menhelen

Something quick, I really like to think about the perspectives of both of them as the war progressed. How love becomes blind pain.

someone should write a helen/menelaus oneshot of menelaus dissociating after he finds out paris and helen have had a daughter together

#maybe someone mocks him about it on the battlefield #and he loses it when hector roars at that man to keep his mouth shut #agamemnon odysseus and all trying to console him but menelaus is just... lost #this was the one thing he had left - he was the father of helen's daughter #and now that mantle too has been stolen from him #much like the mantle of helen's husband #menelaus #menelaus of sparta #helen #helen of sparta #helen of troy #-> roll credits thats paris/helen daughter's name #menelaus x helen #helen x menelaus #menhelen #the iliad #greek mythology

This Menelaus quote (from a retelling) is pretty great

'But this much I tell you: for all her frailties, I have always loved my wife. Even when I stood above her with a sword in my hand, I knew that I loved her and the knowledge was strong enough to stay my hand. Helen is as life itself to me. I've been a dead man all these long years since she left me. And I would rather die now than live without her for another day.'
