Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  2. The figure in the room Apollo Clarity, distance and the ability to aim properly. What to avoid: Truth delivered without warmth.
  3. The figure who leaves Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

At the centre, Apollo, 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.
