Trojan War
Michael Beard for Menelaus
King of Sparta. Loud, raucous, trusting. Menelaus is a man of his times, and a brave one at that. He is a deeply trusting man, almost to a fault. He is unaware of his own surroundings, and is best described as a caveman husband, treating his wife Helen as a trophy rather than as a person. However, he's not without his positives. He deeply loves his family, and is your most loyal friend when he deems you worthy of such loyalty.

(oblivious, joyous, thinking he's romantic) No, no, no! You need to look stunning, just like the day I met you. I want the Trojans drooling over you. You're the most beautiful woman in the world! I want the Trojans to know it! Now go! Change! I'll meet them and bring them to you while you do.
(having a good time) So, his herald hands him this enormous goblet of mead. He's already had a few packed away. And we're all telling him, don't do it sire, you can't hold it. And of course, the old man roars out something like "My liver is as good as yours, young man". He snatches it up, downs the entire goblet, and it looks like he's alright for a moment. And then, without warning, he vomits up the entire thing all over the herald! (laugh heartily) Ah, Tyndareus. May that man rest in the realm of Hades.
(angry, hurt, betrayed) I trusted him. I invited him into my house. I showed him and his men all the hospitality that was within my power. And he repays me by stealing my wife, robbing my treasury, and setting fire to my palace, with my daughter inside of it! I want blood, brother. I want HIS blood, and I will not rest until I get it!!
