1. Menelaus

   In Greek mythology, Menelaus (; Greek: Μενέλαος Menelaos, 'wrath of the people', from Ancient Greek μένος (menos) 'vigor, rage, power', and λαός (laos) 'people') was a king of Mycenaean (pre-Dorian) Sparta. According to the Iliad, Menelaus was a central figure in the Trojan War, leading the Spartan contingent of the Greek army, under his elder brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae. Prominent in both the Iliad and Odyssey, Menelaus was also popular in Greek vase painting and Greek tragedy, the latter more as a hero of the Trojan War than as a member of the doomed House of Atreus.
