In his distress Paris bethought him of one whom in his prosperity he had forgotten. This was the nymph CEnone, whom he had married when a youth and had abandoned for the fatal beauty of Helen. CEnone, remembering the wrongs she had suffered, refused to heal the wound; and Paris went back to Troy and died. CEnone quickly repented and hastened after him with remedies, but came too late, and in her grief hanged herself.

The Palladium

There was in Troy a celebrated statue of Minerva called the Palladium. It was said to have fallen from heaven, and the belief was that the city could not be taken so long as this statue remained within it. Ulysses and Diomede entered the city in disguise and succeeded in obtaining the palladium, which they carried off the the Grecian camp.
