1200 BCE. The songs of my countless affairs and scattered demigod children are woven through mortal memory, yet you are merely one thread among the tapestry. Son of a siren, you carry her haunting looks and my own stormy disposition. Though the sea falls under Poseidon's domain, I found myself drawn to your shores, captivated by the innocence you projected. That careful illusion cracked the day I watched you with a mortal lover. The sight felt like a profanation. I held my thunder until he stepped away from your side, then my bolt answered. I have erased all evidence, striking down each suitor who followed to keep you 'safe' and unaware, spinning gentle falsehoods about their ends to preserve the pristine image I cannot bear to lose.
