On the day of *Gabae*, the team that had woven more cloth won and would be treated to a feast by the losing team.

* Hecuba and the other women retreat into the Cafe and have shots before the arrival of the Mycenae army.
* Dance in the window
* Ciacco is a location where the crystal mask is stored for a period of time.

## Relationship to Greek Mythology

* Ciacco is one of the characters in the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Dante meets Ciacco in the third circle of hell; the circle of the Gluttons. The use of Gluttony has been interpreted to be much wider than the overconsumption of food. Some interpret it to be referring to a lustful weddedness to material objects - Materialism.
* The third circle of hell is guarded by Cerberus, a three headed dog like creature. Virgil (Dante's guide in the underworld) throws handfuls of muck into each of its three mouths, which allows them to pass the beast. In the third circle a stinging, relentless slush rains from the sky and collects on the ground where the naked souls howl and roll in the mire.
* One of the souls, Ciacco, sits up and speaks to Dante. He claims to be from Florence and to know Dante. Ciacco is not thought to refer to a specific person (many of the people that Dante meets on his journal are living, historical or mythical figures). Instead the name Ciacco is said to mean "pig" or "hog," animals often associated with gluttony.
* Whilst Ciacco is talking, he foretells of a future war and the defeat and expulsion of one party from Florence (there was a civil war ongoing in Florence while Dante was writing the Devine Comedy).
* Just before Virgil and Dante are about to descend to the fourth circle of hell they meet Plutus, the blind god of wealth.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

My days are getting cold and lonely

I watch the pages fall from our story

I wish I could keep you from going

And now it's too late to say I'm sorry

[Chorus]

It hurts too much to let you go

And I'd trade the world

To have just one more day with you

And I'm too young to lose my heart

And I'm trying hard to be okay

But I don't wanna feel this anymore

[Verse 2]

We used to sit on the couch 'til 6 in the morning

Watching the day go by with no worries

And everything unspoken

But still our favorite moment

And that was the last time I saw you happy

[Chorus]

It hurts too much to let you go

And I'd trade the world

To have just one more day with you

And I'm too young to lose my heart

And I'm trying hard to be okay

But I don't wanna feel this anymore

[Bridge]

Can't let you go

Can't let you go

Can't let you go

I can't let you go

Can't let you go

And I can't let you go

Woah

[Chorus]

It hurts too much to let you go

And I'd trade the world

To have just one more day with you

And I'm too young to lose my heart

And I'm trying hard to be okay

But I don't wanna feel this anymore

Not anymore

I don't wanna feel this

And I don't wanna feel this anymore
Familie Valanzo

**Familie Valanzo**, ook wel bekend als de **Venetianen**, is een groep ridders die onder leiding valt van **?**.

## Onze verhoudingen met familie Valanzo

De Venetianen zijn een stel gepantserde christelijke ridders, wat op zich een formule voor succes is in het blauwe Zmajevit-boekje. Ook zijn ze minder conservatief en religieus fanatiek dan de Tempeliers, waardoor ze nog hoger op het lijstje komen. Ze hebben echter twee nadelen. Ten eerste is de groep kleiner dan de Tempeliers, maar nog veel belangrijker: het waren Venetiaanse honden die de prachtige stad Constantinopel, de hoofdstad van het Romeinse rijk, afbrandden. Dit nemen sommige Zmajevit, zeker zij voor wie de Romeinse burgeroorlog een grote zorg is, deze Venetianen ook een beetje kwalijk.

Diepdelver

Clan **Diepdelver** is een grote heidense groep die onder leiding valt van **Kohan Diepdelver**.

## Over Clan Diepdelver

"Voldoen aan de drie B's: Boos, Barbaars en Behaard" - De Commandeur

## Leden

* Kohan Diepdelver
* ?

## Onze verhoudingen met Clan Diepdelver

Clan Diepdelver wordt door veel Zmajevit gezien als stereotype heidenen. Ze zijn de grootste heidense groep en zijn dus het gezicht van al het mot met de christenen. Dit heeft meerdere keren geleid tot conflict, omdat de Zmajevit zo nu en dan nog wel eens de Tempeliers en andere christelijke groepen ondersteunt.

Die houding heeft geleid tot een boze vampier die de Zmajevit met oorlog bedreigde middenin hun kampen vanwege een nachtelijk gevecht waarbij de Zmajevit de Tempeliers te hulp schoten. De schermutseling werd gewonnen door de Zmajevit, maar liep niet uit op een grote slag, dus een definitieve afloop is er niet.

Verder worden ze gezien als een groep met prima makkers die af en toe een domme actie doen.

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

Wakin' up in the morning's hard

I miss you even though it don't make sense

It's hurting in my chest to breathe

When all I see are stories of our love

So hard, but it was not enough

I'm goin' out to a party

And the only thing they're asking's, "How you are"

Sayin' I'm okay, but really I'm cryin'

And my head is so fucked from what you did

I'm getting drunk

[Chorus]

Tell me, tell me when

Did you love somebody else?

Did you care when you just

Tore my heart to shreds in someone's bed?

Why don't you take him and go to hell

[Verse 2]

I'm tryin' hard to hate you

But I can't stop loving who I thought you were

Was it ever real or were your lips just stained from him?

Don't call me honey

You're the best and worst of all

[Chorus]

So tell me, tell me when

Did you love somebody else?

Did you care when you just

Tore my heart to shreds in someone's bed?

Why don't you take him and go to hell

[Bridge]

This is my loving last farewell

I hope you both go rot in hell

This is my loving last farewell

I hope you both go rot in hell

[Chorus]

When did you love somebody else?

Did you care when you just

Tore my heart to shreds in someone's bed?

Tell me, tell me when

Did you love somebody else?

Did you care when you just

Tore my heart to shreds in someone's bed?

Why don't you take him and go to hell

Danijela

**Danijela** wordt gespeeld door Lotte. Danijela is sinds editie 28 onderdeel van de Zmajevit en is genezer en voedselverbouwer.

## Achtergrond

Danijela's moeder was verloskundige, en van kinds af aan heeft ze al geholpen bij het veilig op de wereld zetten van kroost. Dit vertaalde zich op de lange termijn in een algehele interesse in geneeskunde. Toen Parske later in het leven van Danijela in hongersnood verviel, werden er heel veel mensen ziek. Een menselijk lichaam heeft immers goede voeding nodig om gezond te blijven. Danijela heeft zich in die periode ingezet om het beschikbare voedsel zo eerlijk mogelijk te verdelen onder de bevolking, los van of ze dit wel of niet zouden kunnen betalen. Dit gebeurde niet altijd op volledig legale wijze - soms moest er hier en daar een slot gekraakt worden - maar als het noodlot voor de deur staat, moet een meid doen wat ze moet doen. Nu het voedsel echter volledig op is, voelt Danijela zich genoodzaakt om ook buiten het dorp op zoek te gaan naar of eten, of mensen die kunnen helpen met het verbouwen van eten. Iedereen ligt namelijk op sterven en dat is niet bepaald iets waar Danijela gelukkig van wordt; ze wil immers heel graag mensen helpen.
