I fear buying retellings. Why do they always make Menelaos this evil and cruel husband?
#Guy literally 'had a pleasant personality'#Agamemnon wasn't that bad either#but at least he gives REASONS to get the evil evil guy treatment#what did my ginger man ever do to Helen#except loving her unconditionally??#second type of retellings usually goes for “Menelaos loves Helen but Helen doesn't love him because he's pathetic”#my guy wasn't beloved by Ares for you to make him a whiny baby 😔#also as much as I like Paris (you wouldn't catch me saying this a year ago) I hate when they make him this great saviour of poor poor Helen#LET HER BE HAPPY WITH HER RIGHTFUL HUSBAND???#WHY DOES MENELEN HAVE TO BE MISERABLE#HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT BOOK 3 PARIS??#Trojans can't get laid without starting a war#unless they're Priam#or Hector#tagamemnon#greek mythology#menelaus x helen#menelaus#helen of troy#of sparta actually 💔#I'm very sick and I'm rambling
