Tyndareus

His uncle, a broken reed, is saved from committing himself by the entry of Tyndareus, father of Clytemnestra and Helen.

She was the daughter of Tyndareus of Argos, one of the horde of kinglets who split up the Greek archipelago among them.

And so adorable was she that some one started a rumor that she was not the daughter of Tyndareus, but of great Jove himself.

Suitors came from one end of the archipelago to the other to visit the palace of Tyndareus and to pay court to the Wonder Girl.

(l. 5) Hail, children of Tyndareus, riders upon swift horses!
