WHO: Menelaus and Helen
WHEN: 1300ish BC
WHERE: Mycenae
WHAT: Married!
Menelaus had told Helen that when they were married he was no longer of Mycenae, but a Spartan. The marriage had been an extravagant one with a party and a feast to follow the ceremony. They had to sit through some of these festivities before finally having a moment's peace, alone, together without any wondering eyes.
His brother and his wife, Clytemnestra sat just beside them, watching the guests dance around and have a good time. Menelaus looked down to see Helen's hand, and he took it, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss. He'd not been without seeing her much the day before, but today had been different. There was so much to prepare, he hadn't been allowed to see her until their vows were spoken. Now, she was here.
