“She was the queen that launched a thousand ships and her husband, Menelaus of Sparta, vowed to bring her back to Sparta and slaughter the adulterer, Paris of Troy!”
Amongst the ruins of a burning Troy, Helen, cowers before her husband Menelaus and seeks the stay of her execution. Menelaus, his arm wavering from delivering the killing blow, recalls long nights spent with Helen and reclaims her for his own.
Thus ends the 10 year Trojan war.
