"This thought occurred to Tyndareus: the suitors should swear to each
other and join right hands and pour libations with
burnt-sacrifice, binding themselves by this curse:
whoever wins the child of
Tyndareus for wife, they will assist that
man, in case a rival takes her from his house and
goes his way, robbing her husband of his rights;
and march against that man in armed array and raze
his city to the ground, Hellene no less than
barbarian." (Agamemnon. Euripides,
Iphigenia
in Aulis 57ff.).

SUITORS OF HELEN are those who came from many
kingdoms of Hellas to compete for the hand of the
Spartan princess Helen.
Helen abducted when very young
Some affirm that Helen was not a virgin when suitors from the whole of
Hellas came asking for her hand. For Theseus, they say, had
abducted her years before, fathering a girl Iphigenia, whom Helen handed over to her
sister Clytaemnestra when
she came back to Sparta,
having been rescued by her brothers the DIOSCURI, who destroyed
the city of Aphidnae in Attica, where Theseus had hidden her.
Helen's beauty
But many others never cared about these rumours,
finding this daughter of Zeus who was hatched from
an egg to be of unsurpassed beauty. And when
because of her, war broke up, some aged wise men
found it perfectly understandable that Achaeans and
Trojans should slaughter each other for her sake.
For to such an extent may sometimes wisdom submit
to beauty. So when it became known that King Tyndareus of Sparta was offering in
marriage his stepdaughter Helen, princes and
noblemen from the whole of Hellas came to win her
hand. Already at this stage it was feared that Helen could cause a war.
And when Tyndareus saw
the multitude of suitors, he feared that choosing
one of them might provoke the others to start
quarrelling. Noticing his plight, Odysseus promised that
if the king would help him to win the hand of Tyndareus' niece Penelope, he in return
would reveal a way by which all trouble could be
avoided. When Tyndareus accepted
this bargain, Odysseus told him to exact an oath from all the suitors that
they would defend and protect him who was chosen as Helen's husband against
any wrong done against him in regard to his
marriage.
The Oath of Tyndareus
This is how The Oath of Tyndareus came about,
the suitors being sworn by the king, and Odysseus receiving Penelope from Icarius 1, brother of Tyndareus. The
ceremony was done in the place later called The
Tomb of the Horse on the road from Sparta to Arcadia; for before
administrating the oath to the suitors, Tyndareus sacrificed a
horse, and after the suitors had been sworn
standing upon the pieces of the horse, the animal
was buried in the same place.
Helen chooses Menelaus
It is also told that Tyndareus feared that Agamemnon might
divorce his daughter Clytaemnestra, and
following Odysseus'
advice, bound himself by an oath, and gave Helen leave to choose a
husband. And she chose Menelaus, putting a
wreath on his head.
The oath invoked
Later, when the seducer Paris came to Sparta and abducted Helen taking her to Troy, The Oath of Tyndareus was invoked
by her husband Menelaus and his brother Agamemnon in order to
form the coalition that sailed against Troy. But The Oath of Tyndareus, through
which Odysseus won Penelope, turned
against its inventor. For now Odysseus was bound, by
the oath he himself had conceived, to go to war.
Furthermore, an oracle had declared that if he
sailed to Troy he would be
away twenty years, and he would lose everything.
So, being reluctant to join the alliance, Odysseus feigned
madness, but Palamedes, seeing through the deception, forced him to stop pretending, and go to the war.

Alcmaeon 1 was leader of the EPIGONI against Thebes. After capturing Thebes, Alcmaeon 1 learned that his mother Eriphyle had been bribed to his undoing as well as to his father's. So, in accordance with an oracle given to him by Apollo, Alcmaeon 1 killed his own mother, perhaps in conjunction with his brother Amphilochus 1. But he was haunted by the ERINYES of his mother's
murder and, having gone mad, he first went to Arcadia, where he was received by Oicles. Thence he came to the court of Phegeus 1 at Psophis who, having purified him, gave him his daughter Arsinoe 1. Nevertheless the fields were believed to have become barren on his account, and so he departed to Achelous who purified him again and gave him his daughter as well. But his second wife asked for the necklace of Harmonia 1 that Arsinoe 1 had received from Alcmaeon 1. And when he tried to get it back from his first wife, Phegeus 1 understood he was being deluded by Alcmaeon 1 and sent his sons Pronous 1 and Agenor 3 to kill him, or perhaps killed him himself (see also Robe & Necklace of Harmonia 1).
Parentage: Amphiaraus and
Eriphyle. Mates &
Offspring: Alcmaeon 1 was father of Clytius 11 by Alcinoe 1; of Acarnan 1 and Amphoterus 1 by Callirrhoe 2; of Amphilochus 2 and Tisiphone 2 by Manto 1.

the hand of Helen. |

Menestheus 1.
Establishing a model that was later used in historical times, Menestheus 1 was appointed king in Athens by the DIOSCURI, who were
Spartans. This happened because of Theseus' abduction of Helen which caused the Peloponnesian armies to invade Attica (see Theseus). Menestheus 1 was son of Peteos, who migrated from Attica to Phocis when pursued by Theseus' father Aegeus 1. Peteos, some say, was originally an Egyptian, who later obtained Athenian citizenship. But Peteos is also called son of Orneus 1, who was son of Erechtheus, a pure Athenian (see Athens). Menestheus 1 is among those who hid inside the WOODEN HORSE.

Philoctetes came from Meliboea, a city in Thessaly, and he led
the Olizonians against Troy. On his way to the war
he was bitten by a water-snake in Tenedos, an
island off the coast of the Troad, and as the wound
did not heal the Achaean army put him ashore on the
island of Lemnos, with
the bow of Heracles 1 which he had in his possession. There he survived
by shooting birds while the war was going on at Troy. But when Calchas prophesied that
the city could not be taken unless the Achaeans had
the bow and arrows of Heracles 1 fighting on
their side, Odysseus and Diomedes 2, or as
others say Neoptolemus, went to Philoctetes in Lemnos, and persuaded him
to sail to Troy. After
being cured by Podalirius, Philoctetes shot Paris with his poisoned
arrows. After the war he went to Campania in Italy,
and having made war on the Lucanians, he settled in
Crimissa where he founded a sanctuary of Apollo to whom he
dedicated the famous bow. Philoctetes is

Protesilaus from the Underworld. His wife
thought then that he had returned from Troy, but when he was
carried back to Hades, she stabbed
herself to death. Protesilaus was killed by Hector 1, or by an unknown Dardanian leader, as he leapt forth from his ship, or by Cycnus 1, son of Poseidon and Calyce 2 and king of Colonae, a city in the Troad
