    Summary

    After learning of the prophecy, of what their unborn son would do to destroy their kingdom, King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Ilion did not send the babe Paris out to be killed by the herdsman Agelaos; no, instead of following the origins of Oedipus, they followed the origins of Perseus — Paris was sent adrift into the Mediterranean.

    Despite all odds, he washes up alive on the shores of Mycenae, where a shepherd takes him in and raises him in the nearby shadow of the Mycenaean city ripe with strife.

     

    fic title from one of my fav anc poems, “Adonis” by Praxilla:
    “Finest of all the things I have left is the light of the sun,
    Next to that the brilliant stars and the face of the moon,
    Cucumbers in their season, too, and apples and pears.”

    Summary

    Yuder’s grandfather always told him to be careful who he talked too, sure there was the classic stranger danger reason, but there was also the fact that people tend to fall over whenever a siren asks them to do something.

    This small detail won’t change much, but it still changes just enough to make a difference .
