Leda, Queen of Sparta, bare a daughter, Helen by name, that grew to / be the fairest of all women upon earth. She married Menelaus, son of / Atreus, and for a while dwelt in peace with her husband, bearing him / a daughter, Hermione by name. But there came to the court of / Menelaus, who was by this time King of Sparta, a certain Paris, / second in birth among the sons of Priam, King of Troy. Menelaus / entertained him hospitably, but Paris repaid his kindness with evil, / for he carried off his wife, the fair Helen, and took with her many / of the King's possessions.
