Menelaus Against Paris

In Greek mythology, Menelaus (Ancient Greek: Μενέλαος) was a legendary king of Mycenaean (pre-Dorian) Sparta, the husband of Helen, and a central figure in the Trojan War. He was the son of Atreus and Aerope, and brother of Agamemnon king of Mycenae and leader of the Greek army during the War. Prominent in both the Iliad and Odyssey, Menelaus was also popular in Greek vase painting and Greek tragedy; the latter more as a hero of the Trojan War than as a member of the doomed House of Atreus.

· What incidents support your answer?

· Who can be cited as a modern day Paris/Menelaus? Why?

Who will you Choose? The one who cause all the Chaos and Damaged or The one who fights Fair?

If you'd ask me, I will choose the one who fights fair. Does anyone wants Chaos, war and Damage? I'm sure no one. So to compare Menelaus or Paris. I would choose Menelaus. First, Paris is Weak, He ask help from Gods unlike Menelaus he used his own strength to defeat Paris. Menelaus defeated Paris without the help of any God.

Menelaus is far more honorable than Paris because he did everything just to have his wife back from Paris. Noble means Impressive, Is it impressive when you try to get other wife from other man? No, of course not.

Can we say that Paris is Noble? Well, think of it.

If I were to compare Menelaus to anyone, I would choose NoyNoy Aquino. He did everything he can to be the President of the Philippines without any bias from the People. Like Menelaus he did everything just to have his wife back.
