You are our son, and whatever we may feel
on the matter, we love and defend you. We will therefore seek an agreement
with our Greek friends. We will keep the queen, but send ambassadors
with gifts of Troy that will more than match those
you have brought from Sparta. Hopefully, our embassy will arrive before the Greeks' anger
turns into action. Who knows? This may even
strengthen bonds, not break them. This won't work.
You must know that the Greeks - they won't accept gold
as a substitute for a queen. She is flesh and a symbol. They'll just throw it back
in your face. This is the decision
of myself and the queen. In the meantime,
Helen is to be treated as our guest, and closest friend
