Original Text: MÉNÉLAS VAINQUEUR.
Sur les remparts fumants de la superbe Troie,
Ménélas, fils des Dieux, comme une riche proie,
Ravit sa blonde Hélène et l'emmène à sa cour
Plus belle que jamais de pudeur et d'amour.
ILLIADE (Traduction Bareste).
Translation: THE CONQUEROR MENELAUS.
On the smoking ramparts of vainglorious Troy,
Menelaus, a son of the gods, carried off with joy
A rich prize, his blond Helen: took her to his place
More beautiful than ever with bashfulness and grace.
