To Carintha Woe and three times more woe. Your Grandfather Grampus is no
more. You must be brave. Try not to cry, he was very ancient.
He was betrayed by your father, Poliphus. The
soldiers were looking for him, they were looking for all the friends of the traitor
Alcibiades.
They had searched all over Athens for Grampus ... in
the Parthenon, the Agora ... everywhere. He was nowhere to be found. But Poliphus knew
where he was ... hiding in a cave behind Apian's beehives. He led the soldiers to the cave
and stood by while the soldiers put a swift end to Grampus.
I don't know what to think. My husband betraying his
father.
There is danger everywhere. Remember, your husband,
Diomedes, was a friend of Alcibiades too.
I think you must run Carintha ... run far away ... and
soon.
