Urox:
Loved The Saga of Megaera. As I'm sure there has already been quibbling about one point (even though I haven't seen today's daily yet, I just know it), I thought I'd go ahead and back you up on the question of how Megaera can be a virgin when she was gang-raped back in childhood. There are several possibilities.

  1. The New Testament meaning of "virgin" theory: in Megaera's culture, "virgin" just means unmarried young woman.
  2. The magical theory: at some point in Megaera's career (perhaps upon initiation into BG), she was transformed into a virgin in body and/or spirit.
  3. The psychological theory: Megaera has suppressed the memory of her trauma, and shouldn't have participated in the Voria ceremony. She got off pretty light, if this is the case.

I'm sure that others can suggest still other theories. I vote for #1.

Brandon: Thanks for Andromache's tale. Enjoyed it.
