APHRODITE 
In the first place, she is the daughter of that
lovely Leda to whom Zeus flew down in the form of
a swan.
 PARIS 
What is her appearance?
 APHRODITE 
She is white, as is natural in the daughter of a
swan, and delicate, since she was nurtured in an eggshell, much given to exercise and athletics, and so
very much sought for that a war actually broke out
over her because Theseus carried her off while she was
still a young girl. Moreover, when she came to
maturity, all the noblest of the Achaeans assembled
to woo her, and Menelaus, of the line of Pelops, was
given the preferenee. If you like, I will arrange the
marriage for you.
 PARIS 
What do you mean? With a married woman?
 APHRODITE 
You are young and countrified, but I know how
such things are to be managed.
 PARIS 
How? I too want to know.
