In the story of Illiad there were two great and honored gods named Paris and Menelaus. Paris as one of the great god is is the son of Priam, king of Troy. he is the god who desires Helen, wife of Menelaus. On the other hand, Menelaus as one of the great god was the king of Mycenean. He is the husband of Helen and the father of Hermione. Menelaus is known as the center of the trojan war. The Trojan War happened because of the desire of Paris to Helen, which is the wife of Menelaus, so the war began between the Troy and Mycenean.
Both of them made a victorious and great experiences in Illiad. For example is the fight of Menelaus and Paris in book three. They've done it without too much bloodshed, but still Menelaus defeats Paris. Paris, even considered as unskilled and weak still proves something, when he was able to wound Achilles with an arrow. However, Menelaus is really known being a great fighter in duel and war, he even killed Deiphobus, the brother of Paris, to get back Helen.
In this few information and facts from the book, for me Menelaus is the nobler, greater and more honorable man than Paris. Its a fact that Menelaus is a skilled god than Paris. Menelaus is much greater than Paris because Menelaus can protect Helen from him. Moreover, in the Trojan War, Menelaus proves that he is more honorable than Paris. when he almost defeated Paris.
The desire of Paris to Helen caused the Trojan War that made many people in two kingdoms die. Still, Menelaus prove that he is nobler, greater and more honorable than Paris by his victory in Trojan War. In this statements it is clear that Menelaus is better than Paris. Menelaus is nobler, Greater, and more honorable god than Paris, whose just a greed.
