Dear children of Priam, were you doomed all along?

Just so people know, mullets were named after Hektor:

Σ Lykophron 1133: Ἑκτόρειος κόμη λέγεται ἡ τὰ ὀπίσω καθειμένα ἔχουσα, τὰ δὲ ἔμπροσθε κεκαρμένα. By “Hektor's hairstyle” is meant one with the back let loose, but the front shorn.

For the further intrigued: Austin RG. Hector’s Hair-Style. The Classical Quarterly. 1972; 22(2):1-1.

Andromache :(

So this qoute is from a book about the french revolution by Chevalier Nicolas de Maistre, and the full thing is ;

" I was a queen, and you dethroned me. I was a wife, and you killed my husband. I was a mother, and you tore me from my children. Only my blood remains: you are thirsty. Drink it. Hasten to meet it that you may drink it."
