Menelaos and Helen reunited

Euripides: The Women of Troy
Menelaos intends to take Helen back to Sparta to be stoned to death; Hecabe, prophetically, fears her powers of seduction.

Hecabe:
Menelaos, let her not sail on the same ship with you!

Menelaos:
And why not? Is she heavier than she used to be?

Hecabe:
A lover once, a lover always!

Menelaos:
That depends
On the ensuing attitude of the person loved.
However, since you wish it, she shall not set foot
On my own ship; there may be truth in what you say.

Once back in Sparta, shameful death will fittingly
Reward her shameful life, and thus commend all women
To chastity - no easy matter; but at least
Her end will inspire terror in their lecherous hearts,
Even if their hatred burns more deadly than before.
