}} de la GrÃ¨ce qui descendaient de Minos, fils de Jupiter, vinrent en CrÃ¨te pour y recueillir la riche succession de CrÃ©tÃ©us. Ce prince, fils de Minos, avait rÃ©glÃ© par son testament qu'il serait fait un partage Ã©gal de tout ce qu'il possÃ©dait d'or, d'argent et de troupeaux, entre les enfants de ses filles ; et il laissait son empire Ã&nbsp; IdomÃ©nÃ©e, fils de Deucalion, son frÃ¨re et Ã&nbsp; MÃ©rion , fils de Molus, son neveu, qui devaient gouverner chacun sa part avec un pouvoir indÃ©pendant. Entre les princes prÃ©sents au partage, on distinguait PalamÃ¨de, fils de ClymÃ¨ne et de Nauplius, et Oeax, appelÃ©s CrÃ©tÃ©ides, avec MÃ©nÃ©las, fils d'Aerope et de PlisthÃ¨ne, qu'Anaxibie, sa soeur, Ã©pouse de Nestor, et Agamemnon, son frÃ¨re aÃ®nÃ©, avaient chargÃ© de les reprÃ©senter dans l'assemblÃ©e des hÃ©ritiers. On connaissait moins ces derniers comme fils de PlisthÃ¨ne, mort Ã&nbsp; la fleur de son Ã¢ge et sans avoir rien fait de mÃ©morable, que comme petits-fils d'AtrÃ©e. Ce prince, en effet, touchÃ© de compassion pour la faiblesse de leur Ã¢ge, les avait recueillis au-prÃ¨s de lui, et s'Ã©tait chargÃ© de leur donner une Ã©ducation conforme Ã&nbsp; leur naissance. Ils se conduisirent tous dans cette occasion avec la grandeur et la gÃ©nÃ©rositÃ© qu'on devait attendre de personnes de leur rang.

A la nouvelle de leur arrivÃ©e, tons les descendants d'Europe, dont le nom Ã©tait en grande vÃ©nÃ©ration dans l'Ã®le, se rendirent auprÃ¨s d'eux, les saluÃ¨rent avec bontÃ© et les conduisirent au temple. LÃ&nbsp;, aprÃ¨s un sacrifice solennel oÃ¹ furent immolÃ©es suivant l'usage, nombre de victimes on leur servit un repas splendide, et on les traita avec autant d'abondance que de dÃ©licatesse. Les fÃªtes continuÃ¨rent les jours suivants. Les rois reÃ§urent les tÃ©moignages de l'affection de leurs amis avec joie et reconnaissance; mais ils furent encore plus frappÃ©s de la magnificence du temple d'Europe. Ils ne pouvaient se laisser d'examiner, dans le plus grand dÃ©tail, les riches prÃ©sents envoyÃ©s de Sidon Ã&nbsp; cette princesse par son pÃ¨re PhÃ©nicie  et par ses nobles compagnes, et qui faisaient l'ornement de ce bel Ã©difice.

Dans le mÃªme temps, Alexandre de Phrygie, fils de Priam, accompagnÃ© d'Ã‰nÃ©e  et de plusieurs de ses parents, se rendait coupable d'un grand attentat Ã&nbsp; Sparte et dans le palais de MÃ©nÃ©las, oÃ¹ il avait Ã©tÃ© reÃ§u comme hÃ´te, et traitÃ© tomme ami. AussitÃ´t aprÃ¨s le dÃ©part du roi, Ã©pris d'amour pour HÃ©lÃ¨ne, qui surpassait en beautÃ© toutes les femmes de la GrÃ¨ce, il l'enleva, et avec elle tous les trÃ©sors qu'il put emporter. Cette princesse fut accompagnÃ©e dans sa fuite par Aetra et ClymÃ¨ne, parentes de MÃ©nÃ©las, attachÃ©es Ã&nbsp; son service. La nouvelle du crime commis par Alexandre contre la maison de MÃ©nÃ©las parvint bientÃ´t en CrÃ¨te; et la renommÃ©e, qui se plaÃ®t ordinairement Ã&nbsp; grossir les objets, publia que le palais du roi avait Ã©tÃ© dÃ©truit, son empire renversÃ©, et rÃ©pandit d'autres bruits aussi funestes.

MÃ©nÃ©las, Ã&nbsp; cette nouvelle, quoique vive. meut affectÃ© de l'enlÃ¨vement de son Ã©pouse, fut encore plus irritÃ© de la connivence perfide qu'il crut apercevoir entre le ravisseur et ses parentes. PalamÃ¨de, voyant ce prince indignÃ© et furieux sortir du conseil sans profÃ©rer un seul mot, fait approcher de terre les vaisseaux et dispose tout pour le dÃ©part. AprÃ¨s quelques paroles consolantes adressÃ©es au roi, il embarque Ã&nbsp; la hÃ¢te tout ce qui provenait du partage, fait monter MÃ©nÃ©las avec lui sur la flotte, et, secondÃ©s d'un vent favorable, ils arrivent en peu de jours Ã&nbsp; Sparte. DÃ©jÃ&nbsp; Agamemnon, Nestor , et tous les rois descendants de PÃ©lops, y Ã©taient accourus. A l'arrivÃ©e de MÃ©nÃ©las, ils s'assemblent ; et quoique l'atrocitÃ© de l'action leur inspirÃ&nbsp;t une profonde horreur et les portÃ¢t Ã¢ une prompte vengeance, cependant, aprÃ¨s avoir dÃ©libÃ©rÃ© mÃ»rement, ils rÃ©solurent d'envoyer d'abord Ã&nbsp; Troie, en qualitÃ© de dÃ©putÃ©s, PalamÃ¨de, Ulysse et MÃ©nÃ©las, avec ordre de se plaindre de l'injure, et de redemander HÃ©lÃ¨ne ainsi que tous les trÃ©sors enlevÃ©s.

Les dÃ©putÃ©s arrivÃ¨rent bientÃ´t Ã&nbsp; Troie et n'y trouvÃ¨rent point Alexandre. Ce prince qui, dans sa fuite prÃ©cipitÃ©e, avait peu consultÃ© les vents, s'Ã©tait vu forcÃ© de relÃ¢cher en Chypre. De lÃ&nbsp;, aprÃ¨s s'Ãªtre saisi de quelques vaisseaux, il avait abordÃ© sur la cÃ´te de PhÃ©nicie. Toujours tourmentÃ© par cette mÃªme aviditÃ© qui l'avait accompagnÃ© Ã&nbsp; Sparte, il Ã©gorge de nuit, par trahison, le roi des Sidoniens, qui lui avait fait un accueil favorable. Tout ce que renferme le palais est le prix de son crime; toutes les richesses accumulÃ©es dans ce lieu, monuments de la grandeur royale, sont par son ordre injustement enlevÃ©es et portÃ©es sur ses vaisseaux. Cependant, aux cris lamentables de ceux qui avaient Ã©chappÃ© aux ravisseurs, le peuple se soulÃ¨ve, se porte en foule au palais, et, dans le moment oÃ¹ Alexandre, aprÃ¨s avoir pris tout ce qui Ã©tait Ã&nbsp; sa convenance, se prÃ©parait Ã&nbsp; mettre Ã&nbsp; la voile, une troupe, armÃ©e Ã&nbsp; la hÃ¢te, se prÃ©sente; le combat s'engage et se poursuit avec acharnement; nombre de combattants tombent de part et d'autre; les uns s'opiniÃ¢trent Ã&nbsp; venger la mort de leur roi, les autres Ã&nbsp; conserver leur butin. Enfin les Troyens, aprÃ¨s avoir eu deux de leurs vaisseaux brÃ»lÃ©s, furent assez heureux pour sauver le reste, et Ã©chappÃ¨rent ainsi Ã&nbsp; la vengeance des Sidoniens dÃ©jÃ&nbsp; fatiguÃ©s du carnage.

Sur ces entrefaites, PalamÃ¨de, un des dÃ©putÃ©s qui s'Ã©taient rendus Ã&nbsp; Troie, prince Ã&nbsp; qui sa valeur dans les combats et sa sagesse dans les conseils avaient mÃ©ritÃ© la plus grande confiance, se rend au palais de Priam. LÃ&nbsp;, devant le conseil assemblÃ©, il se plaint du crime d'Alexandre, reprÃ©sente les droits de l'hospitalitÃ© indignement violÃ©s par lui, observe qu'une telle action est capable de rÃ©veiller la haine entre les deux nations, rappelle le souvenir des discordes qui, pour de semblables causes, divisÃ¨rent jadis les maisons d'llus et de PÃ©lops, et d'autres familles encore, discordes qui ont entraÃ®nÃ© les peuples dans des guerres dÃ©sastreuses. Il met sous les yeux de Priam les dangers et l'incertitude des combats, les avantages et les douceurs de la paix, l'assure qu'un forfait aussi odieux ne manquera pas d'exciter l'indignation de toute la terre, de priver ses auteurs de tout secours humain, et de les conduire Ã&nbsp; une perte inÃ©vitable, digne rÃ©compense de leur dÃ©testable impiÃ©tÃ©. Il se prÃ©parait Ã&nbsp; continuer lorsque Priam l'interrompant, lui dit:
Â« ModÃ©rez-vous, je vous prie, PalamÃ¨de; il n'est pas juste d'accuser un absent. Il peut bien arriver que ce grand crime dont on le charge soit suffisamment dÃ©truit dans sa rÃ©plique lorsqu'il sera prÃ©sent. Â»
Sous ce prÃ©texte et d'autres semblables, il ordonne de suspendre l'examen de l'affaire jusqu'Ã&nbsp; l'arrivÃ©e d'Alexandre. Il voyait bien, par l'effet du discours de PalamÃ¨de sur chacun des conseillers, que l'on condamnait gÃ©nÃ©ralement, sans ces pendant oser rien dire, d'action de son fils. En effet, le prince grec avait exposÃ© ses plaintes avec un art admirable; il avait rÃ©pandu dans son discours un intÃ©rÃªt touchant bien capable de produire l'effet dÃ©sirÃ©. L'assemblÃ©e se sÃ©para ainsi ce jour-lÃ&nbsp;. Ensuite AntÃ©nor, homme gÃ©nÃ©reux, et surtout ami de la justice et de la vertu, conduisit dans son palais les dÃ©putÃ©s, qui l'y suivirent avec joie.

Peu de jours aprÃ¨s, le fils de Priam et ses compagnons arrivÃ¨rent, amenant avec eux la belle HÃ©lÃ¨ne. Son retour mit la ville en mouvement. Les uns avaient l'action d'Alexandre en horreur ; les autres s'attendrissaient sur MÃ©nÃ©las, qui en Ã©tait la victime. Tous Ã©taient indignÃ©s, et personne ne cherchait Ã&nbsp; dÃ©fendre le ravisseur. Priam, inquiet, appelle ses fils auprÃ¨s de lui, les consulte sur ce qu'il doit faire dans une telle conjoncture : ils sont tous d'avis de ne point rendre HÃ©lÃ¨ne. La vue des richesses qu'on avait enlevÃ©es avec elle les Ã©blouissait, et ils n'ignoraient pas qu'il faudrait s'en dessaisir si on la rendait elle-mÃªme. Ils ne voyaient pas non plus avec indiffÃ©rence les belles femmes de la suite d'HÃ©lÃ¨ne, et se proposaient bien d'en faire leur conquÃªte; car ces princes, dont les moeurs Ã©taient aussi barbares que le langage, s'inquiÃ©taient peu de ce qui Ã©tait juste ou injuste, et ne voyaient dans cette affaire que deux objets qui partageaient Ã©galement leur affection : le butin premiÃ¨rement; ensuite le moyen d'assouvir leurs passions dÃ©rÃ©glÃ©es,

Priam, aprÃ¨s cette rÃ©ponse, les quitte, assemble les anciens, leur fait part de la rÃ©solution de ses fils et demande leur avis. Ceux-ci ne l'avaient pas encore donnÃ©, que les princes, sans garder aucune mesure, entrent tout-Ã&nbsp;-coup dans la salle du conseil, en menaÃ§ant chacun des assistants de leur vengeance, s'ils osent prendre le moindre arrÃªtÃ© contraitre Ã&nbsp; leurs intÃ©rÃªts. Cependant le peuple ne poutait retenir son indignation, et rÃ©clamait hautement contre l'injustice; il demandait satisfaction pour les dÃ©putÃ©s, et pour lui-mÃªme la rÃ©paration des torts qu'il Ã©prouvait journellement. Alexandre, toujours aveuglÃ© par sa passion, et craignant tout d'un peuple irritÃ©, sort accompagnÃ© de ses frÃ¨res, les armes Ã&nbsp; la main, se jette au milieu de la multitude, et en fait un affreux carnage. Ce qui reste est sauvÃ© par l'intervention des grands qui avaient assistÃ© au conseil, et par AntÃ©nor, qui s'Ã©tait mis Ã¢ leur tÃªte. Ainsi le peuple se retira mÃ©prisÃ©, maltraitÃ©, et sans avoir rien obtenu.

Le lendemain, le roi, Ã&nbsp; la priÃ¨re d'HÃ©cube, se rend chez HÃ©lÃ¨ne, la salue avec bontÃ©, l'exhorte Ã&nbsp; prendre courage, et lui fait plusieurs questions sur son Ã©tat et sur sa naissance. La princesse lui rÃ©pondit que des liens de parentÃ© l'unissaient Ã¢ Alexandre, qu'elle appartenait plus Ã&nbsp; Priam et Ã&nbsp; HÃ©cube qu'aux fils de PlisthÃ¨ne; et reprenant son origine de plus haut, elle dit que DanaÃ¼s et AgÃ©nor Ã©taient leurs communs auteurs; que de PlÃ©ione, fille de DanaÃ¼s et d'Atlas, naquit Ã‰lectre, qui, enceinte de Jupiter, avait mis au monde Dardanus, duquel sortirent Tros et les autres rois de Troie; que d'un autre cÃ´tÃ©, TaygÃ¨te, fille d'AgÃ©nor, avait eu de Jupiter LacÃ©dÃ©mon, pÃ¨re d'Amiclas ; que celui-ci donna le jour Ã&nbsp; Argalus, pÃ¨re d'Oebalus, qui engendra Tyndare, dont elle Ã©tait la fille. Elle allÃ©gua aussi les liens qui l'unissaient Ã&nbsp; HÃ©cube par AgÃ©nor, pÃ¨re de PhinÃ©e et de PhÃ©nice, aÃ¯euls d'HÃ©cube et de LÃ©da, sa mÃ¨re. AprÃ¨s avoir ainsi Ã©tabli sa gÃ©nÃ©alogie, elle conjura Priam et HÃ©cube, les larmes aux yeux, de ne la point rendre aux Grecs aprÃ¨s l'avoir prise sous leur protection. Elle ajouta que les richesses qui avaient Ã©tÃ© tirÃ©es du palais de MÃ©nÃ©las lui appartenaient, et qu'elle n'avait rien pris au-delÃ&nbsp;. On ne sait pas au juste si sa rÃ©ponse lui fut inspirÃ©e par son amour pour Alexandre, ou par la crainte d'Ãªtre punie un jour par son mari Ã&nbsp; cause de sa dÃ©sertion.

HÃ©cube, qui connaissait son dÃ©sir, et voyait en elle une parente, la tenait serrÃ©e contre son sein, et suppliait son Ã©poux de ne la point rendre. Cependant Priam et les princes Ã©taient revenus Ã&nbsp; un meilleur avis ; ils insistaient pour qu'on renvoyÃ¢t la dÃ©putation avec une rÃ©ponse favorable, et craignaient dÃ©jÃ&nbsp; de rÃ©sister Ã&nbsp; la volontÃ© du peuple : le seul Deiphobe appuyait HÃ©cube, sans doute parce qu'il Ã©tait Ã©pris de la mÃªme passion qu'Alexandre pour la beautÃ© d'HÃ©lÃ¨ne. HÃ©cube, de son cÃ´tÃ©, s'adressait tantÃ´t Ã&nbsp; Priam, tantÃ´t Ã&nbsp; ses fils, et tantÃ´t embrassant la princesse, elle jurait que rien ne pourrait l'en sÃ©parer. De cette maniÃ¨re, elle entraÃ®na Ã&nbsp; son avis tous les assistants, et les caresses d'une mÃ¨re triomphÃ¨rent enfin du bonheur public. Le jour suivant, MÃ©nÃ©las et ses collÃ¨gues se rendirent Ã&nbsp; l'assemblÃ©e, redemandant HÃ©lÃ¨ne, et avec elle tentes les richesses qui avaient Ã©tÃ© enlevÃ©es. Alors Priam, debout et entourÃ© des princes ses fils, commande le silence; il prie HÃ©lÃ¨ne, qui Ã©tait prÃ©sente, de choisir elle-mÃªme, et de dÃ©clarer si elle voulait retourner Ã&nbsp; Sparte ou demeurer Ã&nbsp; Troie. La princesse, dit-on, fit rÃ©ponse qu'elle ne voulait ni revoir sa patrie, ni rester unie Ã&nbsp; MÃ©nÃ©las. Ainsi les princes sortent du conseil triomphants et joyeux de possÃ©der HÃ©lÃ¨ne.

}} reges, qui Minois Jove geniti, pronepotes, Graeciae imperitabant, ad dividendas inter se Cretei opes, Cretam convenere; Creteus namque ex Minoe, postrema sua ordinans, quidquid auri atque argenti, pecorum etiam fuit, nepotibus, quos filiae genuerant, ex aequo dividendum reliquerat, excepto civitatum terrarumque imperio; haec quippe Idomeneus cum Merione, Deucalionis Idomeneus, alter Moli, jussu ejus seorsum habuere. Convenere autem Clymenae et Nauplii Palamedes, et Oeax, dicti Creteidae : item Menelaus, Aeropa et Plisthene genitus, a quo Anaxibia soror, quae eo tempore Nestori denupta erat, et Agamemnon major frater, ut vice sua in divisione uteretur, petiverant. Sed hi non Plisthenis, ut erant, magis quam Atrei dicebantur; ob eam causam, quod quum Plisthenes, admodum parvus ipse agens in primis annis vita functus, nihil dignum ad memoriam nominis reliquisset, Atreus miseratione aetatis secum eos habuerat, neque minus quam regios educaverat. In qua divisione singuli pro nominis celebritate inter se quisque magnifice transegere.

Ad eos re cognita omnes ex origine Europae, quae in ea insula summa religione colitur, confluunt benigneque salutatos in templum deducunt. Ibi multarum hostiarum immolatione celebrata, exhibitisque epulis, largiter magnificeque eos habuere : itemque insecutis diebus. At reges Graeciae, etsi ea quae exhibebantur cum laetitia accipiebant, tamen multo magis templi ejus magnifica pulchritudine, pretiosaque exstructione operum afficiebantur, inspicientes repetentesque memoria, singula, quae ex Sidone a Phoenice patre ejus, atque nobilibus matronis transmissa magno tum decori erant.

Per idem tempus Alexander Phrygius, Priami filius, cum Aenea aliisque ex consanguinitate comitibus, Spartae in domum Menelai hospitio receptus, indignissimum facinus perpetraverat. Is namque ubi animadvertit regem abesse, quod erat Helena praeter caeteras Graeciae faeminas miranda specie, amore ejus captus, ipsamque et multas opes domo ejus aufert, Aethram etiam et Clymenam Menelai adfines, quae ob necessitudinem cum Helena agebant. Postquam Cretam nuncius venit, et cuncta quae ab Alexandro adversus domum Menelai commissa erant, aperuit, per omnem insulam, sicut in tali re fieri amat, fama in majus divulgatur: expugnatam quippe domum regis, eversumque regnum, et alia in talem modum singuli disserebant.


Quibus cognitis Menelaus, etsi abstractio conjugis animum permoverat, multo amplius tamen ob injuriam adfinium, quas supra memoravimus, consternabatur. At ubi animadvertit Palamedes, regem ira atque indignatione stupefactum, concilio excidisse, ipso naves parat, atque omni instrumento compositas terrae applicat. Dein pro temporo regem breviter consolatus, positis etiam ex divisione, quae in tali negotio tempus patiebatur, navem ascendere facit : atque ita ventis ex sententia flantibus, paucis diebus Spartam pervenere. Eo jam Agamemnon et Nestor, omnesque qui ex origine Pelopis in Graecia regnabant, cognitis rebus confluxerant. Igitur postquam Menelaum advenisse sciunt, in unum coeunt. Et quanquam atrocitas facti ad indignationem, ultumque injurias rapiebat, tamen ex consilii sententia legantur prius ad Troiam Palamedes, Ulysses et Menelaus ; hisque mandatur, ut conquesti iniurias, Helenam, et quae cum ea abrepta erant, repeterent.

Legati paucis diebus ad Trojiam veniunt, neque tum Alexandrum in loco offendere. Eum namque properatione navigii inconsulte usum venti ad Cyprum appulere. Unde sumptis aliquot navibus, Phoenicem delapsus, Sidoniorum regem, qui eum amice susceperat, noctu per insidias necat : eademque qua apud Lacedaomonam, cupiditate, universam domum ejus in scelus proprium convertit. Ita omnia quae ad ostentationem regiae magnificentiae fuere, indigne rapta, ad naves deferri jubet. Sed ubi ex lamentatione eorum qui casum domini deflentes, reliqui praedae aufugerant, tumultus ortus est, populus omnis ad regiam concurrit. Inde quod jam Alexander, abreptis quae cupiebat, ascensionem properabat, pro tempore armati ad naves veniunt; ortoque inter eos acri proelio, cadunt utrinque plurimi, quum obstinate hi regis necem defenderent, hi ne amitterent partam praedam summis opibus adniterentur. Incensis dein duabus navibus, Trojani reliquas strenue defensas liberant, atque ita fatigatis jam proelio hostibus evadunt.

Interim apud Trojam, legatorum Palamedes, cujus maxime ea tempestate demi bellique consilium valuit, ad Priamum adit, conductoque concilio, primum de Alexandri injuria conqueritur, exponens conmunis hospitii eversionem. Dein monet, quantas ea res inter duo regna simultates concitatura esset, interjaciens memoriam discordiarum Ili et Pelopis, aliorumque qui ex causis similibus ad internecionem usque gentium pervenissent. Ad postremum belli difficultates, contraque pacis commoda adstruens, Â« Non se ignorare, ait, quantis mortalibus tam atrox facinus indignationem incuteret ; ex quo auctores injuriae ab omnibus derelictos, impietatis supplicia subituros. Â» Et quum plura dicere cuperet, Priamus medium ejus interrumpens sermonem, Â« Parcius, quaeso, Palamedes, inquit ; iniquum enim videtur, insimulari eum qui absit : maxime quum fieri possit, uti quae criminose objecta sunt, praesenti refutatione diluantur. Â» Haec atque alia hujusmodi inferens, differri querelas ad adventum Alexandri jubet. Videbat enim, ut singuli, qui in eo concilio aderant, Palamedis oratione moverentur; ut taciti vultu tamen admissum facinus condemnarent; quum singula miro genere orationis exponerentur, atque in sermone Graeci regis inesset quaedam permixta miserationi vis. Atque ita eo die consilium dimittitur. Sed legatos Antenor, vir hospitalis, et praeter caeteros boni hunestique sectator, domum ad se volentes deducit.

Interim paucis post diebus, Alexander cum supradictis comitibus venit, Helenam secum habens. Cujus adventu in tota civitate quum partim exemplum facinoris exsecrarentur, alii injurias in Menelaum admissas dolerent, nullo omnium adprobante, postremo cunctis indignantibus, tumultus ortus est. Queisrebus anxius Priamus filios convocat, eosque quid super tali agendum negotio videretur, consulit : qui una voce, minime reddendam Helenam, respondent. Videbant quippe quantae opes cum ea advectae essent : quae universa, si Helena traderetur, necessario amitterent. Praeterea permoti forma mulierum quae cum Helena venerant, nuptias sibi singularum jam animo destinaverant. Quippe qui lingua moribusque barbari, nihil pensi aut consulti patientes, praeda ac libidine transversi agebantur.

Igitur Priamus, relictis his, senes conducit, sententiam filiorum aperit. Dein cunctos, quid agendum sit, consulit. Sed priusquam ex more sententiae dicerentur, reguli repente concilium irrumpunt, atque inconditis moribus malum singulis minitantur, si aliter quam ipsis videretur, decernerent. Interim omnis populus indigne admissam injuriam, atque in hunc modum multa alia, cum exsecratione reclamabant. Ob quae Alexander cupidine animi praeceps, veritus ne quid adversum se a popularibus oriretur, stipatus armatis fratribus impetum in multitudinem facit, multosque obtruncat : reliqui interventu procerum, qui in consilio fuerant, duce liberantur Antenore. Ita infectis rebus, populus contemptui habitus, non sine pernicie sua, domum discedit.

Dein secuta die rex hortatu Hecubae ad Helenam adit, eamque benigne salutans, animum bonum uti gereret hortatur; quae cujusque erset, requirit. Tum illa Alexandri se adfinem respondit, magisque ad Priamum et Hecubam, quam ad Plisthenis filios genere pertinere, repetens originem omnem majorum. Danaum enim atque Agenorem, et sui et Priami generis auctores esse. Namque ex Pleiona, Danai filia et Atlante, Electram natam, quam ex Jove gravidam Dardanum genuisse, ex quo Tros, et deinceps insecuti reges llii. Agenoris porro Taygetam; eam ex Jove habuisse Lacedaemonem, ex quo Amiclam natum, et ex eo Argalum patrem Oebali, quem Tyndari, ex quo ipsa genita videretur, patrem constaret. Repetebat etiam cum Hecuba materni generis adfinitatem. Agenoris quippe Phineum et Phoenicem, et inde patres Hecubae et Ledae consanguinitate originem divisisse. Postquam memoriter cuncta retexuit, ad postremum flens orare, ne se, quae semel in fldem illorum recepta esse, prodendam putarent. Ea secum domo Menelai apportata quae propria fuissent, nihil praeterea ablatum. Sed utrum immodico amore Alexandri, an poenarum metu, quas ob desertam domum a conjuge metuebat, ita sibi consulere maluerit, parum constabat.

Igitur Hecuba, cognita voluntate, simul ob generis conjunctionem, complexa Helenam, ne proderetur, summis opibus adnitebatur : quum jam Priamus et reliqui reguli non amplius differendos legatos dicerent, neque resistendum popularium voluntati; solo omnium Deiphobo Hecubae assenso : quem non aliter atque Alexandrum, Helenae desiderium a recto consilio praepediebat. Itaque quum obstinate Hecuba nunc Priamum, modo filios deprecaretur, modo complexu ejus nulla rations divelli posset, omnes qui aderant in voluntatem suam transduxit. Ita ad postremum bonum publicum materna gratia corruptum est. Dein postero die Menelaus cum suis in concionem venit, conjugem, et quae cum ea abrepta essent, repetens. Tunc Priamus inter regulos medius adstans, facto silentio, optionem Helenae, quae ob id in conspectu popularium venerat, offert, si ei videretur, dornum ed suos regredi. Quam ferunt dixisse, neque se patriam regredi velle, neque sibi cum Menelai matrimonio convenire. Ita reguli habentes Helenam, non sine exultatione ex concione discedunt.
