- "One could compare too Diomedes' sage withdrawals from the battle when warned by Apollo (5.440-4) and by thunderbolts (8.139- 49, 163-71). An equally reluctant Helen could have felt she had no real choice, then or now. It has been suggested that Helen, though a responsible wife, could not control her passions"-- Provided by publisher.
