Meanwhile Iris went to Helen in the form of her sister-in-law, wife of the son of Antenor, for Helicaon,son of Antenor, had married Laodice, the fairest of Priam's daughters. She found her in her own room,working at a great web of purple linen, on which she was embroidering the battles between Trojans and Achaeans, that Mars had made them fight for her sake.Iris then came close up to her and said, "Come hither,child, and see the strange doings of the Trojans and Achaeans. Till now they have been warring upon the plain, mad with lust of battle, but now they have left off fighting, and are leaning upon their shields, sitting still with their spears planted beside them. Alexandrus and Menelaus are going to fight about yourself, and you are to be the wife of him who is the victor."
