What Zeus gives is not a choice and he says so. It's just a quicker way to get to a set course of action
#the guilt he feels for the trojans should be analyzed also#not just astyanax#hope it's the right translation i'm used to the italian name#but for the sleeping trojans#he mentions them when he compares himself to the other monsters#did he kill an old man that could have been his father#did he slaughter a young wife so similar to penelope when he last saw her#epic#epic the thunder saga#epic the musical
