The duet ''"Mio diletto, mio sospiro"'' appears at in Act III Scene I when Helen and Menelaos reconcile. Menelaos has much to account for: after all, charmed by Helen's beauty, he had taken on the guise of a battle-hardened Amazon to get close to her, to offer her combat training, a move which led to his own abduction by an enarmored Teseo.
