Donald Lyons as Menelaus uses a different technique; he swaggers with impressive competence both in voice and manner, and that is all Menelaus demands. He runs into trouble as soon as he puts on a longer beard to appear again as Agamemnon; he can't swagger anymore, and he stands still and speaks inaudibly...
