Telemachus journeys onward to Sparta where he finds Menelaus and Helen in Book 4 of the Odyssey. Menelaus and Helen are not exactly living in domestic bliss. Helen slips something into the wine to ease everyone's nerves. And Menelaus tells the story of how he returned home. A strange tale indeed! What does Telemachus learn from Menelaus that he didn't learn from Nestor? How does war effect even the best of warriors?
