Summarize the following paragraph in 3-5 sentences. Remember, to summarize means to write in your own words.

“And while the courage lasted, Paris offered a formal bargain to end the war one way or the other by fighting Menelaus. A fight to the death: and Helen, with all her jewels upon her, to be returned to her first husband and her own people if he himself were killed, while if Menelaus died, she should remain with him and the Trojans, and the Greeks return without her over the sea-ways to the lands from which they came.”

Answer:

Paris offered a legal fight to stop war by fighting Menelaus. However, if Menelaus dies, Helen should stay with him and the Trojans. Otherwise, she could stay with her first man and the people of hers.
