Menelaus and Helen's kingdom · the far end of the search

The hall at Sparta — bronze-sheathed walls under bare mountains, a double wedding feast, a tumbler between the tables, and the queen enthroned beside her work-basket.
The hall at Sparta — bronze-sheathed walls under bare mountains, a double wedding feast, a tumbler between the tables, and the queen enthroned beside her work-basket.

The kingdom of Menelaus and Helen, and the far end of Telemachus's search. He arrives in the middle of a double wedding feast and finds the war's most famous couple living in gold-plated comfort with their memories. Butler usually calls the country Lacedaemon. It is where Telemachus finally learns his father is alive, and where the suitors set their ambush for his return.
