Quote by Margaret R. Graver
““An example is Menelaus as depicted by Euripides. Drawing his sword, he moves toward Helen to slay her, but then, struck by the sight of her beauty, he casts away his sword and is no longer able to control even that. Hence this reproach is spoken to him: You, when you saw her breast, cast down your blade and took her kiss, fondling the traitor dog.22””
