lacus' son; and Actor's noble son; overbearing Protesilaus。  Both of them kept sending messages to Lacedaemon; to the house of wise Tyndareus; Oebalus' son; and they offered many bridal…gifts; for great was the girl's renown; brazen。。。。 。。。。golden。。。。

((LACUNA))

(l。 42) 。。。(desiring) to be the husband of rich…haired Helen。

(ll。 43…49) From Athens the son of Peteous; Menestheus; sought her to wife; and offered many bridal…gifts; for he possessed very many stored treasures; gold and cauldrons and tripods; fine things which lay hid in the house of the lord Peteous; and with them his heart urged him to win his bride by giving more gifts than any other; for he thought that no one of all the heroes would surpass him in possessions and gifts。

(ll。 50…51) There came also by ship from Crete to the house of the son of Oebalus strong Lycomedes for rich…haired Helen's sake。

Berlin Papyri; No。 10560: (ll。 52…54) 。。。sought her to wife。  And after golden…haired Menelaus he offered the greatest gifts of all the suitors; and very much he desired in his heart to be the husband of Argive Helen with the rich hair。

(ll。 55…62) And from Salamis Aias; blameless warrior; sought her to wife; and offered fitting gifts; even wonderful deeds; for he said that he would drive together and give the shambling oxen and strong sheep of all those who lived in Troezen and Epidaurus near the sea; and in the island of Aegina and in Mases; sons of the Achaeans; and shadowy Megara and frowning Corinthus; and Hermione and Asine which lie along the sea; for he was famous with the long spear。

(ll。 63…66) But from Euboea Elephenor; leader of men; the son of Chalcodon; prince of the bold Abantes; sought her to wife。  And he offered very many gifts; and greatly he desired in his heart to be the husband of rich…haired Helen。

(ll。 67…74) And from Crete the mighty Idomeneus sought her to wife; Deucalion's son; offspring of renowned Minos。  He sent no one to woo her in his place; but came himself in his black ship of many thwarts over the Ogylian sea across the dark wave to the home of wise Tyndareus; to see Argive Helen and that no one else should bring back for him the girl whose renown spread all over the holy earth。

(l。 75) And at the prompting of Zeus the all…wise came。

((LACUNA  Thirteen lines lost。))

(ll。 89…100) But of all who came for the maid's sake; the lord Tyndareus sent none away; nor yet received the gift of any; but asked of all the suitors sure oaths; and bade them swear and vow with unmixed libations that no one else henceforth should do aught apart from him as touching the marriage of the maid with shapely arms; but if any man should cast off fear and reverence and take her by force; he bade all the others together follow after and make him pay the penalty。  And they; each of them hoping to accomplish his marriage; obeyed him without wavering。  But warlike Menelaus; the son of Atreus; prevailed against them all together; because he gave the greatest gifts。

(ll。 100…106) But Chiron was tending the son of Peleus; swift… footed Achilles; pre…eminent among men; on woody Pelion; for he was still a boy。  For neither warlike Menelaus nor any other of men on earth would have prevailed in suit for Helen; if fleet Achilles had found her unwed。  But; as it was; warlike Menelaus won her before。

II。 (45)

(ll。 1…2) And she (Helen) bare neat…ankled Hermione in the palace; a child unlooked for。

(ll。 2…13) Now all the gods were divided through strife; for at that very time Zeus who thunders on high was meditating marvellous deeds; even to mingle storm and tempest over the boundless earth; and already he was hastening to make an utter end of the race of mortal men; declaring that he would destroy the lives of the demi…gods; that the children of the gods should not mate with wretched mortals; seeing their fate with their own eyes; but that the blessed gods henceforth even as aforetime should have their living and their habitations apart from men。  But on those who were born of immortals and of mankind verily Zeus laid toil and sorrow upon sorrow。

((LACUNA  Two lines missing。))

(ll。 16…30) 。。。。nor any one of men。。。。 。。。。should go upon black ships。。。。 。。。。to be strongest in the might of his hands。。。。 。。。。of mortal men declaring to all those things that were; and those that are; and those that shall be; he brings to pass and glorifies the counsels of his father Zeus who drives the clouds。  For no one; either of the blessed gods or of mortal men; knew surely that he would contrive through the sword to send to Hades full many a one of heroes fallen in strife。  But at that time he know not as yet the intent of his father's mind; and how men delight in protecting their children from doom。  And he delighted in the desire of his mighty father's heart who rules powerfully over men。

(ll。 31…43) From stately trees the fair leaves fell in abundance fluttering down to the ground; and the fruit fell to the ground because Boreas blew very fiercely at the behest of Zeus; the deep seethed and all things trembled at his blast: the strength of mankind consumed away and the fruit failed in the season consumed away and the fruit failed in the season of spring; at that time when the Hairless One (46) in a secret place in the mountains gets three young every three years。  In spring he dwells upon the mountain among tangled thickets and brushwood; keeping afar from and hating the path of men; in the glens and wooded glades。  But when winter comes on; he lies in a close cave beneath the earth and covers himself with piles of luxuriant leaves; a dread serpent whose back is speckled with awful spots。

(ll。 44…50) But when he becomes violent and fierce unspeakably; the arrows of Zeus lay him low。。。。  Only his soul is left on the holy earth; and that fits gibbering about a small unformed den。  And it comes enfeebled to sacrifices beneath the broad…pathed earth。。。。 and it lies。。。。'
