"They lived by plundering and war, the first, the wild and the barbaric. They sacrificed the waylaid to the virgin Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, the animals and of the moon. Her bow and arrows in her tow and deer held sacred only to her. And princess Iphigenia, her dying breath meant to breathe wind into the sails of Agamemnon so he could sail for Troy. Saved by the goddess Artemis, transported to this land, became the priestess and the tool of sacrifice."
