Your question What am I pretending not to know?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hera Partnership, terms, and the negotiation inside a long arrangement. What to avoid: Dignity defended at the cost of honesty.
  2. The figure in the room Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.
  3. The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

The centre figure is Zeus, and it names the part of the situation that is about craft rather than feeling.

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