Helen's unsurpassed beauty attracted a lot of attention, and she had suitors from all over Greece. In fact, these are essentially the same as the Greek champions at Troy - with the notable exceptions of Agamemnon, Achilles and Odysseus - for, fearing they would come to blows, Tyndareus at Odysseus suggestion, required that each suitor should take an oath to protect her marriage. With that done, she was married to Menelaus?, and on the deaths of her brothers (the Dioscuri?) they succeeded to the Spartan throne.
