POV- Helen and Cassandra

Oracle of Woe
Hector now returns
I am the first to see Him
My heart is crying

The tragedy of Helen's War
I started the war
for my heart yearned for Paris,
but my heart felt sadness for his
body returned home in his
father's arms

POV- vantage point or stance from which a story is told, the eye and mind through which the action is perceived and filtered

I Am Achilles

Achilles
Swift footed Achilles (line 142)
Son of Peleus (line 1)
Resident of Myrmidon (line 213)
Who likes fighting
Who fears the gods
Who needs war prizes
Who wishes he was not dishonored
Who admires his prize
