		Tecmessa anyway would be willing to do major /GarouMUSH/ deviations from "The Real World." John isn't a rabid fanboy, but would like to know what's going on if it affects his RP.
		Tecmessa says "Legendary heroes are, to my mind, something that would /really/ enhance the world around us." Nemo says "Why?" Jack has noticed sometimes an elder comes in, tours, and leaves.
		Tecmessa says "This is not the same MUSH it was, I might point out." Nemo says "Many of the attitudes are." John says "Any cliath disrespecting a Athro should probably expect to be challenged on the spot." You say "I seem to remember they did, but do others agree, Horus et.

	To Challenge The Queen
		Queen Tecmessa is quite the feisty one isn’t she?” Gabrielle stood tall, throwing her shoulders back in imitation of the reigning Queen.
		As Tecmessa came closer, Gabrielle swung high and hit her on the right side of her face, causing blood to spurt from a gash in her cheek, made by the weapon.
		A cheer from the other side of the audience egged Tecmessa on, and she increased her attack, running toward the small blonde, who ducked a head swipe and caught the taller woman in the back of her knees, throwing her off balance and onto the ground.

		Tecmessa is a woman captured in the war.
		Most of the chorus' lines are sung and in a metre suited to their grief and emotion (a metre we have seen before in similar scenes).
		Tecmessa for the most part uses a dialogue metre and after each choral section, in which she speaks also, she is given a brief speech.

		Tecmessa gives the two cubs an interested sort of look, and almost smiles at Aidan-- her eyes certainly do.

		Tecmessa looks fairly baffled, herself, as she drifts closer to the door.

		Tecmessa’s intelligence: see also 527-44, evading Ajax’s demand for their son as long as possible, Emotional control: her speech does not directly ask Ajax to take pity on her (this is left to chorus: 525f.).
		Ajax is aware of Tecmessa’s presence (652: ‘a woman’, better ‘this woman’), and must mean her to hear: he communicates obliquely, as in previous act.
		Tecmessa and child posed as suppliants at Ajax’s body: paradoxically, body in need of defence is treated as sacred object that can protect suppliants.

		Tecmessa let out a cry of anguish as she dropped her staff doubling over in pain.
		At first Tecmessa remained on her knees, slowly looking around drinking in the entirety of the village with her eyes.

		Tecmessa squeezes Alicia's hand gently, while maneuvering slightly around -- she's still hugging her, but she's also poised to move at a moment's notice.
		Tecmessa shakes her head, silently, as she crouches down next to Alicia, resting a hand on her back.

		The semichoruses arrive, but it is Tecmessa who finds the dead Ajax and covers him with her mantle.

	[2003: May] Re: Tecmessa: A Celebrity Profile
		Dictys primly adds that Ajax made her his "wife": and also that Priam is supposed to have sent letters to "Tautanes" the king of the Assyrians and to David king of Jerusalem asking help (David never showed up, but Tautanes sent Tithonus and Memnon with a lot of Indians).
		But the brightest future is given to Tecmessa by Quintus of Smyrna in his Posthomerica, where she takes part in the lamentation over the body of Ajax in Book 5.
		She is introduced in 521-531 as not merely Ajax' captive but his wife (a)/loxos -- is Briseis ever called the "bride" of Achilles?) and the "mistress of everything" (a)/nassa pa/ntwn), and she's even paid the ultimate wifely compliment of bearing a son who completely resembles his father.

		As long as Ajax is alive and on stage, the couple's relationship illuminates the original violence upon which it was founded, and which reduced Tecmessa to a servile status.
		Tecmessa, however, transcended this state at the crucial moment which demanded initiative and readiness, as soon as Ajax was away and in danger.
		By taking charge of the situation and acting in his place, Tecmessa in a way transcends the submission and the compromises she has undertaken, thus reclaiming, even briefly, her personality.

		TECMESSA Yonder man, while his spirit was diseased, Himself had joy in his own evil plight, Though to us, who were sane, he brought distress.

		If Athena were visible to the audience, as she surely was, then there is also the significant problem of whether the goddess appeared at stage level or on high.
		The fourth chapter is called "Ajax and Tecmessa" and discusses the play from the entrance of Tecmessa to the end of the first stasimon (ll.201-645).
		This chapter is also marked by its sympathetic analysis of Tecmessa and her exchanges with Ajax.

		She had never travelled so swiftly and under other circumstances would have enjoyed it immensely, but now her thoughts centred solely on her malatyr.
