Life has been so hectic lately. I've been so worried about the safety of my husband, and yet at the same time I can't help but be upset. It's so like Agamemnon to rush away to a fight - sometimes he's so cocky it's unbearable (but apparently he has a little more humility than that home wrecker Paris). I wish I could blame all of my ill feelings on Paris, but the more I think about it the more I'm so sure that my darling sister Helen of Troy isn't so innocent after all. Word has it that she willingly left King Menelaus of Sparta. Why on earth would anyone want to leave Sparta? I bet thousands of years from now there will be plays dealing with the Spartans, and all of the women will notice how attractive they are, even if the story itself has no plot.* It seems the only news I've heard is about Helen's beauty - "The face that launched a thousand ships" - yeah right. I was always the better looking sister. After careful consideration, I refused to let Iphigeneia go with Agamemnon to battle. I'm not sure why he thought NOW would be a great time for father/daughter bonding, but I came to my senses pretty quickly. While I don't regret my decision, I'm a little perplexed as to why the gods have now taken away Iphigeneia from our house. There was absolutely no explanation, and I'm a little worried. If anything ever happens to her - I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to forgive Agamemnon...or any of those barbarians he is fighting for that matter.
I'm including the most recent picture I have of Iphigeneia in this entry...I pray that she comes home safely, and soon!
*Editor's note: It's like she predicted the movie 300!
