Hesperides' Florist

## Notable Scenes

* The florist is the first place Persephone, goddess of the spring growth, visits after leaving Hades' Office. Here she meets Askalaphos, who guides her to the bunch of flowers which contain some clues to her identity.
* Hecuba visits the florist after the death of her daughter.

## Relationship to Greek Mythology

* The  **Hesperides** are the nymphs of the evening and the golden light of sunsets (they are sometimes called the "Western Maidens", the "Daughters of Evening", or *Erythrai*, and the "Sunset Goddesses").
* The name originates from *Hesperos*, meaning evening.
* Their parentage is uncertain; they are sometimes listed as the daughters of the Night (Nyx) either alone or with Darkness (Erebus). They are also described as the daughters of Atlas and Hesperis, Phorcys and Ceto, or Zeus and Themis.
* Depending on the source, there were either three, four or seven of them (usually three). They have been given various names, including Aegle, Erythea, Arethusa, Hestia, Hespera, Hesperusa, and Hespereia.
* The Hesperides tend to a blissful garden; the location of the garden is equally disputed as the other details about them.
* The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's orchard in the west. Hera is the wife of Zeus and Queen of the Olympians.
* In the garden, either a single apple tree or a grove grows, producing golden apples.
* According to the legend, when the marriage of Zeus and Hera took place, the different greek deities attended and brought presents for Hera. The goddess Gaia gave branches with golden apples growing from them as a wedding gift. Hera greatly admired these and begged for Gaia to plant them in her gardens.
* The **Hesperides** were given the task of tending to the grove but occasionally picked apples from it for themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed an immortal, never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard in the garden.
* In the myth of the **Judgement of Paris**, it was from the garden of Hesperides that Eris, Goddess of Discord, obtained the golden Apple of Discord. In revenge for not being invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, Eris inscribed the golden apple, "To the fairest one," and threw it into the wedding. Three goddesses, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, agreed to have Paris of Troy choose who was the fairest one. Paris chose Aphrodite because she bribed him by giving him the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Sparta, wife of Menelaus. Paris carried Helen off to Troy, and the Greeks invaded Troy for Helen's return, resulting in the **Trojan War**.
* The garden also appears in two other greek myths. The eleventh of labour of Hercules was to steal an apple from the garden. Also, the Argonauts during their journey, came to the garden and begged the goddesses to guide them to a source of water.

The Watchman

## Cast

### Played By

Eric Jackson Bradley, Ferghas Clavey, Ingrid Kapteyn, Jahmarley Bachelor, Milton Lopes, Miranda Mac Letten, Sharol Mackenzie, Theo Arran, WenHsin Lee, Yilin Kong

The Watchman is a soldier within the Mycenean Army, burdened with the responsibilty of scoping Mycenea for intruders and tending to the menial jobs reserved for the lower ranks.

Their story arc revolves around the monotony and melancholy that daily life of the Mycenean troops brings. They are regularly daydreaming of a better time, and appear fixated on the ever-deteriorating state of the city's natural world.

They spend much of their loop tidying and re-setting the environment of Mycenae, whilst watching the mounting tragedies, from a distance.

## Loop

Loop 2 only

Returning to Mycenae after the death of Polyxena, the Watchman notices a light in one of the crates. They approach and, seeing someone in there, bang on the crate and yell for whoever is tresspassing to come out. Out emerges Persephone, who gives the Watchman her papers on request. After a tense moment, the Watchman gives her permission to head back to Troy.

## 1:1s

The Watchman has one '1:1' scene.

Shortly after clearing away the bear carcass left from Iphigenia's bear ritual, they will make their way back to The Woods, and take a WM into a private scene, in their shack. They will place the WM's hand into a covered tray of dirt, and talk of how beautiful and green the land once was, before revealing that the dirt is in fact black sand, and digressing into how now there is nothing left but dust and dead Earth. They will then briskly walk the WM into a smaller room and offer them a shot of whiskey, before hurriedly pouring a small number of seeds out onto a piece of paper and folding it shut, urging the WM to take the seeds and promise to plant them. The Watchman will also recommend the WM take the paper that the seeds are wrapped in to PEEP Bar as a reward for their 'resilience', before leading them back out into the public space again. Should the WM take the paper to the bar, they will be traded it for a double shot of whiskey.

As Greece teeters on the brink of victory, the neon backstreets of Downtown Troy give way to a sprawling labyrinth hiding secrets even the prophecies could not foretell.

Happy Family (2006 TV series)

***Happy Family*** is a Korean-French CGI animated television series developed by Marc Brown Studios and Classic Media which began to air worldwide on April 18, 2006 on ZDF in Germany and on May 9, 2006 on TF1 in France. and EBS and Qubo in September 6 2006 It features full CGI animation similar to Robocar Poli (a show created by Roi Visual in 2011) Episodes of the new series run 5 minutes each, with the exceptions of half-hour specials such as Where Are You Jeung Choi, which are split as 13 minute two-part episodes as well. The television series was developed as a continuation of the original book series, Starting Season 5, the episodes now run 11 Minutes

## History

More than 2 weeks after the airing of the final episode of the 1992 television series, Daniel Lee, the founder of Roi Visual envisioned an idea for a brand-new Happy Family television series for some time. When the final CiNAR Film Happy Family:The Secret Of Jeju Island, he felt it was the right time to initiate the project. The series was to be produced by Happy Family Productions and ICONIX

, and its producer was Choi Jong Il

When the cartoon show was in development, Happy Family Productions remained vigilant on maintaining that the setting and characters are true to the vision of the source material (e.g., humor, adventure, dialogue, action, suspense, etc.) - but they remained open to creative freedom (in contrast of Marc Brown vetoing any extreme changes such as "Americanization" of the 1992 series) and that the settings and characters are brought up to date. The writers introduced changes such as developing the characters more fully (A notable example they introduced was Aunt Choi becoming a Kill Bill-styled action girl being an expert on the master of Taekwando, and Jeung Choi digging for Treasure from the 1992 series is reinstated); the "Modernization" of the setting: one aspect included modern everyday living customs such as skateboarding and cellphones, the regular use of vehicles such as Cars buses, a modern employment system that involves hiring and/or firing people from jobs; and the series was aimed at an young audience.

In 2021, ICONIX and Dreamworks announced that the series is coming to an end due to low ratings,

Patroclus

## Cast

### Played By

Fionn Cox-Davies, Folu Odimayo, Harry Price, James Finnemore, Juan José Tirado Pulido, Ryan O'Neill, Steven James Apicello, Theo Arran, Timothy John Bartlett

Patroclus is a soldier within the Mycenean Army, and best friend to fellow soldier, Neoptolemus.

His story arc revolves around his slight naivety in the face of war, leading him to be distracted and lured away from his post by a resurrected Iphigenia, culminating in his untimely demise.

He also shares a complex, but passionate relationship with Neoptolemus, which in turn contributes to his clouded mind, and willingness to be seduced by Iphigenia.

## Loop

Begins loop on top of the girder feature in Mycenae.

Engages in a fight with Neoptolemus, which is broken up by Agamemnon.

After Neoptolemus is presented with the carnation, signifying his upcoming marriage to Iphigenia, Patroclus goes to the crate room with Neoptolomus where he helps him prepare.

He is presented the carnation by Neoptolemus. Patroclus is sullen, and the two engage in a teasing chase around the crate room before returning to Mycenae.

Neoptolemus and Patroclus hide in one of the caged rooms, where the two embrace, and then Neoptolemus goes to meet Iphigenia for his nuptials.

Patroclus hides the carnation and joins Neoptolemus, helping him up onto the girders.

He retreats to a shrine to Hecate (3 faced titaness) and prays before presenting the carnation as an offering.

He returns to watch from below as Neoptolemus is married, and then as Iphigenia is sacrificed by Agamemnon.

Patroclus joins in the summoning of the storm, and is swept over to Troy alongside Neoptolemus, Agamemnon, and The Watchman.

Patroclus takes part in the invasion of Troy, and witnesses the death of Polyxena, watching as Neoptolemus is swept up in the invasion. He raises Polyxena onto the rope to hang.

Once the rest of the soldiers are gone, Patroclus helps bring Polyxena down, and watches Macaria wash and dress her. He carries Polyxena into Alighieri’s Department Store and leaves her there.

He goes to Ciacco (The Cafe), where Iphigenia arrives up, transformed. The two drink together, and Iphigenia gives him drugs.
The two engage in a sexual affair throughout Troy, including in Askalaphos’ Florist, with Iphigenia luring Patroclus slowly back to Mycenae.

Once in Mycenae, Iphigenia lures Patroclus up to the very spot she died, and cuts his throat.

Patroclus is found by Neoptolemus, who tries desperately to save him, but fails and leaves him.

Patroclus awakens and goes through a transformation and is embraced by Artemis in the hammock tent before returning to the girders to restart the loop.

*In third Loop, Patroclus is included in the Mycenae finale.*

## 1:1s

Not including a walk-out, Patroclus has no true '1:1' scenes.

Upon the conclusion of the Mycenae Finale, Patroclus will arise from the floor and reach out a hand to a WM, walking them through to Troy, remove their mask, thank them for coming, and redirect them towards PEEP.
