μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα, ἔφη, φοβούμενος τοὺς Τυνδαρίδας ὁ Ἀγαμέμνων· ἠπίστατο γὰρ ὅτι ξένος ὢν καὶ ἔπηλυς ἄρχοι τῶν Ἀργείων· ἐβούλετο προσλαβεῖν αὐτοὺς κηδεύσας, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἔγημε Κλυταιμνήστραν· τὴν δὲ Ἑλένην ἐμνήστευε μὲν τῷ ἀδελφῷ, οὐδεὶς δὲ ἔφασκε τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐπιτρέψειν, καὶ γὰρ προσήκειν ἕκαστος αὑτῷ τοῦ γένους μᾶλλον ἢ Μενελάῳ, Πελοπίδῃ ὄντι. ἧκον δὲ καὶ ἔξωθεν πολλοὶ μνηστῆρες διά τε τὴν δόξαν τὴν περὶ τοῦ κάλλους καὶ τὴν δύναμιν τῶν ἀδελφῶν καὶ τοῦ πατρός.
