		Menelaus is the king of Sparta who was robbed of his sweet wife Helen by a guest he received in his palace.
		When Menelaus learned what had happened, he bade his brother Agamemnon to raise an army and demand, by means of threat, the restoration of his wife and his property.
		Menelaus almost killed his opponent; but when he, during the fight, seized Paris by the horsehair crest of the helmet and began to drag him, Aphrodite intervened and broke the strap of the helmet, so that it came away empty in Menelaus' hand.

	Proteus 2, Greek Mythology Link.
		Menelaus replied that the whole thing was against his will, and that he probably was being punished for having offended the immortals; but that he would certainly like to know who among the gods had confined him in that island, and how he could finally get home.
		For, she said, Menelaus was to surprise him while he was asleep, holding him tight regardless of his form until he recovered the shape he had when he lay down to rest and began to speak.
		And about Odysseus (for this story was being told by Menelaus to Telemachus so that he would learn something about his father's fate), the god only said that he had caught a glimpse of him in the island of Calypso 3, where she kept him captive in the bonds of her love.

		Menelaus was the king of Sparta and the spurned husband of Helen, the world's most beautiful woman.

So, Menelaus, brother or Agamemnon, who was advanced enough in age to be selected commander of the Greek forces during the Trojan War, had to be somewhere around fifty.
		Menelaus, while a resident of a warrior state, was its king and was entitled to a life of more luxury than the common warrior.

		Menelaus avoids this way of proving theorems and, as a consequence, he gives proofs of some of the theorems where Euclid's proof could be easily adapted to the case of spherical triangles by quite different methods.
		Proclus referred to a geometrical result of Menelaus which does not appear in the work which has survived and it is thought that it must come from one of the texts just mentioned.

	Cut The Knot!
		In fact, the theorem of Menelaus requires that at least one of the points lie on the extension of the corresponding side due to an obvious fact that a straight line can't cross internally all three sides of a triangle.
		The Menelaus theorem then says that, given three shapes two of which were obtained from the third by central similarity transformaitions, then (naturally) there exists a homothety that transforms the first into the second, and centers of all three transformations are collinear.
		The simplicity of the Menelaus theorem is deceptive.

	Menelaus and Ceva
		Indeed, the theorems of Menelaus and Ceva are applicable to arbitrary triangles, which suggests that they are not inherently metrical propositions at all, despite being expressed originally in terms of metric distances.
		The same approach can be applied to Menelaus' Theorem, in which case the projective coordinates of the points a, b, and c are of the form stated above, and the condition of the theorem is that point b lies on the line through a and c.
		In the context of Menelaus' theorem the individual partial derivatives (holding the third parameter constant) can be pictured in terms of the ratio of the changes in position of points a and b when rotating the common line about the point c, and likewise for the other partials. For Menelaus' function these three partials are
