| AGAMEMNON is continuing the tale. "Zeus told the gods a man would be born today of his stock, who would rule Argos. Hera persuaded him to swear this was true, then swiftly arranged for Eurystheus to be born ahead of Heracles. Thus Eurystheus became king, and Heracles was his slave. Zeus grabbed Ate by the hair and flung her out of heaven." It was the same with you, you claim. You were blinded by Ate and robbed of your wits. You offer Achilles the same gifts you offered yesterday (yes, it was only yesterday!). |
