Story of King Arthur, in Twelve Tales · Iliad for Boys and Girls-Alfred John Church · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

So spoke Menelaus, and both armies were glad, for they were tired of the war.

Then Hector sent a messenger to Troy to fetch King Priam, and to bring a sheep for the sacrifice.

And when the herald was on his way, one of the gods put it into the heart of the fair Helen, as she sat in her hall, to go out to the wall and see the army of the Greeks.

So she went, leaving the needlework with which she was busy, a great piece of embroidery, on which the battles between the Greeks and the Trojans were worked.

Now King Priam sat on the wall, and with him were the other princes of the city, old men who could no longer fight, but could take counsel and make beautiful speeches.

they saw the fair helen as she came and one of them said to another see how beautiful she is and yet it would be better that she should go back to her own country than that she should stop here and bring a curse upon us and our children but priam called to her and said

come hither my daughter and see your friends and kingsmen in yonder army and tell us about them who is that warrior there so fair and strong there are others who are even a head taller than he is but there is no one who is so like a king that said helen is agamemnon a brave soldier and a wise king and my brother-in-law in the old days and king priam cried

Happy Agamemnon to rule over so many brave men as I see in yonder army.

But tell me, who is that warrior there, who is walking through the ranks of his men and making them stand in good order?

He is not so tall as Agamemnon, but he is broader in the shoulders.

That, said Helen, is Ulysses of Ithaca, who is wiser than all other men, and gives better advice.

You speak truly, fair lady, said one of the old men.

Antinor by name.

Well do I remember Ulysses when he came with Menelaus on an embassy.

They were guests in my house, and I knew them well.

And when there was an assembly of the Trojans to hear them speak on the business for which they came, I remember how they looked.

When they were standing, Menelaus was the taller.

But when they sat down, then Ulysses was the nobler of the two to look at.

And when they spoke, Menelaus said but a few words, and said them wisely and well.

And Ulysses, at first you might have taken him to be a fool, so stiffly did he hold his staff, and so awkward did he seem, with his eyes cast down upon the ground.
