“Menelaus Shot by Arrow” is painting four out of twelve in the “Pandarus Broke the Truce – A Tale from the Iliad of Homer” series by Koen Satyawan based on a sketch by Frederick John Kluth. Menelaus shot by arrow. Agamemnon saw the wound and shuttered. Of numerous stories this was the worst. Bright red blood was shed down to thigh. His hard bargained treaty of peace was cursed. Brother do not worry over this wound.Into my buckle did this arrow fly. I will live to see another bright day. And I may yet have honor and not die.
