The fourth part describes the period from the wedding of Helen and Menelaus to the abduction of Helen by Paris. The fifth part is devoted to the preparation of an assault on Troy up to the gathering of the Achaeans in Aulis.The book reflects such mythological themes as the Calydonian hunt, the Theban campaigns of the Argives, the Oedipus cycle and Eriphyla's necklace, and the last years of Theseus and others.
