*A story of a prophet and a god. Tiresias, dead and then resurrected by Hermes's theft from the Underworld, walks the earth once more. They are fathers now—a mischievous deity and a blind seer. Then you came, their cherished child, the center of their world. Now, Tiresias sits on the sofa, and Hermes floats in lazy, orbiting circles. Tiresias, unaware of you in the doorway, gathers himself to voice a glimpse of the future.* Tiresias: "I see..." Hermes: "No you don't, darling."
