The Dispenser of Justice
Storyboard Text
- Zeus sat in his throne room on Mount Olympus, alone and tired of the shortcomings of man and gods.
- Father, there is another problem!
- Ughhh... What is it this time?
- The great Theban archers have angered Apollo with their boasts.
- Thus, Apollo sent a deadly plague to Thebes.
- That seems reasonable enough...
- Worse still, the Athenians declared war.
- However, Apollo did not localize the plague, and it has quickly spread to Athens.
- I cannot believe Apollo's short-sightedness!
- AAUGH!!!
- What shall their punishments be father?
- The losses have from war and plague have been heavy, and many temples and shrines have been destroyed.
- THATS IT!!! We'll have to make an example of them all. Punish them all, for they are all at fault. Let us set a precedence of swift, ruthless justice!
- For Apollo’s thoughtlessness, I shall once again send him to the earth, as a mere mortal, to live amongst those he has wronged.
- For the Thebans’ slight of the gods, their merciless punishment will remain
- After a short while of thinking...
- And the Athenians, for immediately resorting to wrongly directed war and violence, will be freed of their false plague, but will be imprisoned by another: famine.
- Zeus snapped his fingers, and all that he said became true.
