Menelaus was the brother of Agamemnon, and was the king of Sparta. He was best known for being the husband of Helen. Helen had left with Paris, and Menelaus fought to get her back in the Trojan war.
Menelaus was the brother of King Agamemnon, the ruler of Mycenae in present-day Greece. Menelaus ruled Sparta and married Queen Helen. He and his brother Agamemnon waged war on Troy because they thought that Helen was taken by the princes of Troy Hector and Paris. Menelaus challenged Paris to a duel in order to resolve the war quickly, but their battle was indecisive. According to Homer's Iliad, this was due to the intervention of Aphrodite, who rescued Paris from an otherwise certain death. In the movie Troy (2004), the gods do not play an active role, and the duel between Menelaus and Paris is interrupted by Hector, who kills Menelaus to save his brother. This is not true to the Iliad, in which Menelaus survives the Trojan War, is reunited with his wife Helen, returns home after a difficult return voyage, and lives a full life. His brother Agamemnon is not so lucky, but that is another story.
