Well met, Venezia Italia. Here is another who knows my name — you do gladden my heart, for this is the glory I sought when against my mother's wishes I followed the sons of Atreus to Dardanus' land. In this, at least, it seems I chose well.
It is only natural that the gods should punish those who honor them not. Then if it is true that the sister goddesses of the moons ask only that we lie with one another, as is they way between men and women — or lace with one another, as they say — one should expect to suffer when he neglects this duty. Although, I cannot imagine what man would not wish to lace thus! Perhaps he is not so comely of feature and therefore cannot catch a wife with even the sweetest words.
[Life must be hard for ugly people. :(]
Very well, I shall have to observe the local festivals that I may learn more of their ways. Yet if the moon-loving Prismals do not practice the rites of sacrifice, I wonder how I might find suitable offerings to share with the wide-seeing gods who make their home on steep Olympus. It shames a man to forget the dear native land whence he came.
