What happens to Menelaus after the Trojan war?

Of the major Greek heroes at the siege of Troy, Menelaus has one of the thinnest stories after the fall of the city.Menelaus appears in Homer's Odyssey (IV) back home in Sparta, re-united with his wife Helen. Helen is unable to bear a son to Menelaus, and the king himself seems tortured by memories of the futility and destructiveness of the war. Like most of the Greek heroes, Menelaus found the journey home difficult, and in fact was stranded in Egypt for several years.According to Euripides' Helen, Menelaus and Helen are re-united after death on the Isles of the Blessed. But Menelaus is as unhappy with his reconditioned wife after death as he was while she lived.
