[edit] Cleanup

Perhaps his life should be split up according to his roles in the different epics? aka Iliad section, Odyssey section, etc. ~ Jared ~ 20:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Menelaus (king) → Menelaus – The overwhelming majority of references to Menelaus mean the mythical king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon, so this page should be at Menelaus, with other things named "Menelaus" listed at Menelaus (disambiguation); if a disambiguating title for the mythological character is really needed, however, it should be Menelaus (mythology) for consistency. (the above statement is false there is clear evedence that that a king of Sparta really existed named Menelaus during that time period, belived to be the brother of Agamemnon).--Akhilleus (talk) 18:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

I don't see as we need to do an RM. Somebody just moved the page like a week ago. Would anyone object if I just go ahead and move Menelaus to Menelaus (disambiguation) and this page to Menelaus? john k 12:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The good soul edited Menelaus after the move, so it needs an admin to fix; if you are or can find one, I support speedy movement. Septentrionalis 05:24, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I am indeed. Will do so immediatelyjohn k 09:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Dont really know what im doing here, but I got to this menelaus page through an internal link from an article about salamis (cyprus), and the menelaus relevant to that article, I think, is not the same as any that I see discussed here. 75.68.249.71 07:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Considering that Menelaus is mythical is an exact date for his supposed reign really necessary? T@nn 18:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't have any ideas, but, honestly, this article sucks. Sorry to be anon, I keep forgetting my password.
