Well, I'm glad to see you haven't dashed yourself on the rocks like a certain daughter of Typhon and Ekhidna.
Okay, I have a riddle for you, then.
"I am a dark son, begotten of a brilliant mother,
a soaring bird in aspiration, yet bereft of wings to fly,
I make to weep those I meet, yet they do not grieve,
and my life is but a moment in the space of time."
And that he killed his father, married his mother, brought devastation to his city, gouged his own eyes out, and died a beggar in Athens? Not an enviable personage, you must admit.
Har de har. I've been looking into the matter myself, and I'm telling you right now, I'm putting my money on one of her neighbors having done it. That tenant of hers especially - what was her name again...?
