AINEIA∑
I am Aeneas, son of the mortal Anchises and goddess Aphrodite. On my father's side I am the great-grandson of Tros and am therefore related to the ruling family of Troy. Word reaches us that a large contingent of Greeks sail to make war with Priam over a maiden that Paris stole from a Greek king. If the Greek kings can manage to make their way here I see no reason to participate in such a petty conflict. If Priam repays the honour which is deserved to me I may yet join. Destiny decrees that it is in fact myself, and my descendants, that are meant to rule. Perhaps with this war power may yet change hands. Alas, I must tend the flock of cattle on Mount Ida, how dull.
