EPIGRAPH: a territory, a progeny,
a spitting image
like Athena sprung
from her father's head:
chip off the old block,
issue and spawn;
a namesake, a wishbone --
loyalist and traitor --
a native, an other,
a subject, a study,
a history, a half blood,
a continent dark and strange.

EPIGRAPH: What happens to you doesn't belong to you, only half concerns you. It's not yours. Not yours truly.
