Your question Where is the exit I keep walking past?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hestia The hearth, the centre of a house, and the stability nobody thanks. What to avoid: Staying so centred that nothing moves.
  2. The figure in the room Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

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

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

The twist is generational: the pattern being played out this week was written before you were born.
