Alexandrus’s oxhide chin strap chokes him, then breaks at Venus’s intervention; the empty helmet comes away and Menelaus flings it among the Achaeans.
See evidence text
“The strap of the helmet that went under his chin was choking him, and Menelaus would have dragged him off to his own great glory had not Jove’s daughter Venus been quick to mark and to break the strap of oxhide, so that the empty helmet came away in his hand. This he flung to his comrades among the Achaeans”
