"CYPRIA 7: ODYSSES OUTWITS ACHILLES"

Haunted by a prophecy that her son will die young at war, the sea-nymph Thetis disguises Achilles as a maiden named Pyrrha and hides him on the remote island of Skyros, where the lonely warrior bonds with the princess Deidameia, secretly marrying her and fathering a son. Back on the mainland, the seer Calchas divines through bird signs and entrails that Troy cannot fall without Achilles, and that he is hidden on Skyros. Odysseus sails to the island disguised as a merchant, laying out jewelry and weapons before the princesses, then signals a war trumpet to be blown, and Achilles alone reaches for the sword, tearing off his veil and revealing himself, for he was not made to live passively in secret among princesses. He embraces Deidameia one final time, promising not to forget their son, but they both know what the prophecy means, and he sets sail for Aulis, his heart lifting toward the horizon and the war to come.
