>Well, /qst/ - what does Nikon believe?
>"The fates control the destiny of the dogs - I am told even the gods are bound by the will of the Moirae. Your father, Anios, augured the dogs true destiny - and it would have come to pass whether you wished it or not." This is the classic view of destiny in Hellas, and would likely please Andros, scion of prophets.
>"It is the belief in the prophecy that lends it strength, Andros - what if you had decided to drown the dogs after the prophecy was delivered? The prophecy would then be broken by the will of one man." This would be a controversial opinion, impious in its implication that the prophecies of the gods are meaningless. Stating this opinion aloud on Delos, to the son of a prophet, may be inadvisable.
>"Perhaps, it is as you say, Andros - that prophecies can be both true and infallible, and yet not insurmountable to a man of dedication and insight. Anaisthesia may yet learn to hunt, if you choose to train him."
>Something else?
