Tony turns detective

So where do I start ? Obviously Aphrodite will pick up the message from Artemis - but do I let on I've heard it too ? What do I try to find out, and who from ? How do you ask innocent questions of a goddess without them spotting a mile off what you're up to ? Can I find a way of listening in to her conversations without her knowing? Going to have to think about it for a while, at least - barins not always my strong suit, in case you were wondering - don't often have to use them to get what I want.

While i'm thinking about how to be innocent and ask, decide it's probably worth doing a bit of research on what actually happened - I know from talking to Eurydice what happened to her, and there will be records up top about how she died and all that. So my first port of call is the coroner's office to look at records.
So what do they say ? She was poisoned - some very rare poison that they don't see very often, once in a few hundred years, the records say. At first they thought it was a snakebite, two puncture wounds in the ankle, but there was no sign of snake venom. Then they founf the third puncture wound, right in the middle of the other two, and that was wherew the poison had been. According to the examiner, it looked a bit like a dart, or possibly a very small arrow - but they'd not found anything at the scene. Down on their records as "suspicious" with cause of death "unknown"

Now I know a little bit about how these goddesses work, and it sounded to me as if this missing dart or arrow could have been one of Artemis's. I know she's always going on about this secret weapon of hers, the invisible killer, the one she's used a few times to carry out "hits" for other gods - both before and after they changed the rules - before they did, she would do it and boast about it ( but not up top) and afterwards she'd hint at it, so that everyone knew she had really done it, but couldn't actually prove it.

So I had a look at the analysis of the poison - and it matched cases I knew she'd done - ones she'd done before it was illegal to do it. So that was the first bit sorted. Eurydice was killed by Artemis, using one of her secret arrows, and Aphrodite was in on it, to get her own back on Orpheus's mum.

Right, so far so good, but what next ? How come Artemis seemed to know when to do the hit ? Snakes with no poison aren't that common - and they certainly don't commit suicide by biting someone at an engagement do, when there's loads of people around with sticks and stuff to bash them. And how come those wasps turned up when she was being rescued ? It's all a bit too obvious if you ask me.

Maybe I need to go back down for a visit and ask Eurydice a few questions about how it all happened - I am allowed back there once in a while, as long as I don't stay too long - kind of like parole in a way - while I'm up here, I'm not supposed to be down there and vice versa, but a quick visit should be OK - only issue is how I wangle it to meet Eurydice without making everyone suspicious....better work on that one too. Now that's two things to sort out....
