Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
  2. The figure in the room Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  3. The figure who leaves Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.

The first role is the messenger, which is the oldest way of saying that a conversation is the whole plot.

At the centre, Artemis, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.

What to do

Take the smaller portion and the longer walk.

Timing

The first frost changes the arithmetic.

Take with you

Progress is mostly unphotogenic.
