Hope Is Gone

"Minimis etiam rebus prava religio inserit deos."

"A foolish superstition introduces the influences of the gods even in the smallest matters."

-        Livy, Annales, XXVII. 23.

"There is no need to worry about anything my lord, indeed the girl is sent here by some one else, who is most likely her own parents. But there is probably no harm involved…"

The local expert Apostolos reassured Antonius after hearing the full story. "The reason why you are experiencing all of these today… Is most likely because of a local superstition…"

"Local superstition?" Antonius raised his eye brow hearing the word, as he knows from his experience that if there is any thing associated with things like folk lores, culture, superstition, practise or religion, things can quickly escalate in to a very troublesome state.
