raised her from the dust and her white arms were round his neck; and they
both wept。 That night Menelaus fought no more; but they tended the
wound of Ulysses; for the sword of Deiphobus had bitten through his
helmet。

Tales of Troy
When dawn came Troy lay in ashes; and the women were being driven
with spear shafts to the ships; and the men were left unburied; a prey to
dogs and all manner of birds。 Thus the grey city fell; that had lorded it
for many centuries。 All the gold and silver and rich embroideries; and
ivory and amber; the horses and chariots; were divided among the army;
all but a treasure of silver and gold; hidden in a chest within a hollow of
the wall; and this treasure was found; not very many years ago; by men
digging deep on the hill where Troy once stood。 The women; too; were
given to the princes; and Neoptolemus took Andromache to his home in
Argos; to draw water from the well and to be the slave of a master; and
Agamemnon carried beautiful Cassandra; the daughter of Priam; to his
palace in Mycenae; where they were both slain in one night。 Only Helen
was led with honour to the ship of Menelaus。
The story of all that happened to Ulysses on his way home from Troy
is told in another book; 〃Tales of the Greek Seas。〃
