The duel between Menelaus and Paris - Workshop of Bernard Picart, 1710

"He tossed it away into the Greek ranks, where his comrades gathered it, then sprang again to the attack, his bronze spear eager for the kill. But Aphrodite cloaked Paris in mist and, with a Goddess’s power, whisked him away, and set him down in his own high sweet-scented room, while she sped off to summon Helen."

-Homer, The Iliad, Book 3.310-394
