Description
Ring Polyxo
Polyxo, a native of Argos, who married Tlepolemus and fled with him to Rhodes. Together they had a son, whose name is not known. Despite being already married, Tlepolemus was later among the suitors of Helen, and thus bound by the oath of Tyndareus, fought in the Trojan War and was killed by Sarpedon, leaving Polyxo to become queen of Rhodes. She received Helen after the latter had been driven out of Sparta by Megapenthes and Nicostratus (Menelaus, Helen's husband, was already dead by the time). Still, Polyxo blamed Helen for Tlepolemus' death and decided to take revenge on her. So, when Helen was bathing, several handmaidens in the guise of the Erinyes, sent by Polyxo, seized her and hanged her from a tree.
Η Πολυξώ θεωρούσε υπαίτιο του πολέμου την Ωραία Ελένη και για να την εκδικηθεί, όταν η Ελένη πήγε στη Ρόδο μετά τον θάνατο του συζύγου της Μενελάου, μετεμφίεσε τις δούλες της ως Ερινύες και τις έστειλε να καταδιώξουν την Ελένη. Οι μεταμφιεσμένες δούλες εξανάγκασαν την Ελένη να απαγχονισθεί.
