Your question Which version of the story is true?

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 Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  3. The figure who leaves Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.

The reading opens with the figure who set the situation up, and in the old stories that figure is almost never you.

Hermes in the middle is the figure of the hunt, describing a pursuit that has become more enjoyable than the catch.

The final role is the witness, and it is the least dramatic and most useful part you could take.
