I think this shows an interesting contrast between Adrestus and Menelaus. Adrestus was willing to be dishonorable and pay his way to safety, and was pleading with Menelaus, who may have been the worst person to plead with.

His bull-headed stubbornness is shown, unable to save his dearest friends all over a quarrel he could have, on multiple occasions, repaired. (114
