This problem was solved when the prudent Odysseus, king of Ithaca, advised the Spartan king, that each suitor must swear an oath, that they will defend the interests of whoever Helen chooses to marry. Any who refused to swear this oath, would not be eligable. All the suitors agreed and swore the oaths to accept whoever became Helen's husband.

According to the Catalogues of Women, Hesiod wrote what some of the leaders had offered to Helen - rich bridal gifts, such as bowls, cauldrons or tripods made of gold.
