| | Hitherby Dragons: Aegisthus (IV/IV) |
 | | Tell me of Aegisthus, who stood with sword in hand in the cold wet cell where Thyestes sat enchained, and chose, not to kill, but to strike free the monster's chains and set him on Mycenae's throne. |
 | | These three leave with fanfare and with wealth, for Atreus King loves them well; but Atreus' youngest wife, Pelopia, hearing certain rumors regarding Leda's daughter Helen, walks away in silence, and few mark her departure. |
 | | I went into Athena's service, and on the night of a ceremony, a masked stranger caught and forced me and got a child on me. I took his sword as he lay sated, but found myself unable to kill---not him and not myself. |
