The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the Iliad, the Trojan War began as a result of Menelaus' wife, Helen, fleeing to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris.
- Menelaus was a central figure in the Trojan War, leading the Spartan contingent of the Greek army, under his elder brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae.
- Prominent in both the Iliad and Odyssey, Menelaus was also popular in Greek vase painting and Greek tragedy, the latter more as a hero of the Trojan War than as a member of the doomed House of Atreus.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Menelaus article was read about 1,100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
