On with it - give Argive Helen and all her treasures back to Atreus' sons to take away at last. We broke our sworn truce. We fight as outlaws. True, and what profit for us in the long run? Nothing - unless we do exactly as I say.

On with it – give Argive Helen and all her treasures
back to Atreus’ sons to take away at last.
We broke our sworn truce. We fight as outlaws.
True, and what profit for us in the long run?
Nothing – unless we do exactly as I say.

– Homer

The Iliad, Book 7, lines 402-406. Addressing the collected leaders in Troy, Antenor advises that they should give Helen and all her treasures back to Menelaus.
