Quote context

[...]

- Do the gods approve the day and the hour?

- The omens are good, my king, and also the prophecies, with but one exception. One troubled priestess of the temple.

- My daughter.

- Don't be angry, Priam. Cassandra is ill.

- Sick in the mind.

- Arise, Paris, and go.

- The virgin Cassandra does make one point that causes me much concern.

- Prince Paris, it appears, gives all his worship to one goddess alone. Aphrodite.

- I'm not sure I worship anything. No. Admiration is the better word. Admiration for the beauty of a marble image.

- It was not the goddess of beauty who taught us to arm against our enemies, but Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the patroness of the horses of war.

- Athena does not rejoice in this... This solitary adoration of yours. Neither is she delighted that you undertake a mission of peace.

- And I suppose that evil horse of hers will spring out and trample me. Very well. Let it come, my lord, if that's the price of living in a world of fables.

- Do not say that, Paris. Do not seek peace elsewhere, dear brother, until first you have pacified Athena.

- My little Cassandra, there can be no postponement. So come along and give me your blessing for a happy voyage.
