:21:04
My son, my son!
:21:18
You remember Achilles?
:21:20
He is my favorite.
:21:22
Why?
:21:23
Because he loved Patroclus and avenged his death.
:21:27
And his fate?
:21:29
That he must die young, but with great glory.
:21:32
Did he have a choice?
:21:34
Oh yes: to live a long life, but there would be no glory.
:21:38
You dream of glory Alexander, your mother encourages you.
:21:43
There is no glory with out suffering, and this she will not allow.
:21:51
One day I will be on walls like these.
:21:54
Prometheus stole the secret of fire and gave it to man,
:21:59
Made Zeus so angry,
:22:02
he chained Prometheus to a rock in the Great Caucasas,
:22:06
and each day, his eagle pecked out the poor man's liver,
:22:10
each night it grew back again, so that it
could be eaten the next day,

:22:14
miserable fate.
:22:20
Why?
:22:22
Who knows these things, anyway,
:22:30
Oedipus, tore out his eyes,
:22:34
He found out, he'd murdered his father,
and married his mother,

:22:39
knowledge that came too late,
:22:42
Medea. She slaughtered her two children in vengeance,
:22:47
When Jason left her for a younger wife.
:22:59
My mother would never hurt me.
