REVENGE FOR HELEN – With our Sparta in Troy. Nine-year excursion, departure from Aulis
“REVENGE” cries Agamemnon (or not, we weren’t there) when Paris, son of King Priamos of Troy, runs off with Helen, the wife of his brother, King Menelaos of Sparta. Helen who, you say? Don’t get me started…
He gathers his fleet in Aulis, but without any wind, they can’t leave. In order for the wind to blow and cool off this revengeful boy, Agamemnon has to sacrifice his daughter, which he does. And the wind begins to blow. So, they start for Troy. And the rest is history.
