	Robert Graves on Philomela (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Tereus, a son of Ares, relied on the Thracians then occupying Phocian DaulisÑalthough some say he was King of Pague in MegarisÑand, having acted as mediator in a boundary dispute for Pandion, King of Athens and father of the twins Butes and Erechtheus, married their sister Procne, who bore him a son, Itys.
		Unfortunately Tereus, enchanted by the voice of Procne's younger sister Philomela, had fallen in love with her; and, a year later, concealing Procne in a rustic cabin near his palace at Daulis, he reported her death to Pandion.
		Meanwhile, an oracle had warmed Tereus that Itys would die by the hand of a blood relative and, suspecting his brother Dryan of a murderous plot to seize the throne, struck him down unexpectedly with an axe.

	The Poet Lucan
		Tereus, king of Thrace, marries Procne, the daughter of Pandion, king of Athens.
		With his characters of Tereus, Procne, and Philomela, Ovid created the poetic archetypes who have mediated, in its purest form, the obsession of Athenian drama with violent transgression for the Western tradition.
		The god-forsaken woodlands of barbarian Thrace where the forces of Hell overpower Tereus to stage a furious rebellion against the constraints of civilized society, against communitas and societas ciuilis, are now the apparatuses of the state itself that progressively castrates and normalises its subjects.

	[No title]
		Neither husband respects boundaries, but while Tereus breaks familial bonds by raping the sister of his wife, Albert literally breaks down doors that stand in his way of pathologically controlling the personal/sexual expression of his Wife.
		The Crimes of the Husbands are similar: Tereus cuts out the tongue of the girl he has just raped, and then rapes her again; Albert watches while one of his henchmen stuffs pages of books down the throat of his wife’s lover and then gives the order to suffocate him.
		But because Tereus left no body in his wake, and because he is not impotent and must be gelded, Procne seizes upon the idea of feeding him his own child, whom she rejects along with her marriage.
