Scene 4: Enter Zeus and Hera. Zeus is reclining on the chaise longue again and Hera is standing nearby.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Hera noticed that Zeus is not eyeing another woman. She approached Zeus.
Hera: Is there something wrong with my smoochy-poo nowadays? You seem to be less…energetic.
Zeus: Oh, it is nothing, Hera.
Hera: Indeed? Or is it that—
Enter Athena.
Athena: Hera, I think that you should stop being jealous at my father. He is actually making an effort in being faithful to you. (stress) Am I right, father? (surreptitiously winks)
Zeus (confused): Uh, yes, you're right, Athena. (winks as well)
Hera (crosses her arms): Very well. Zeus, I'm glad you're finally coming to your senses. I'm leaving you alone now.
Exit Hera.
Athena: Nice save, father. Regarding Parthenia—
Zeus: Parthenia? Um…I guess she's fine, nothing to worry about. It's been sixteen years since we last talked about her!
Athena (one eyebrow raised): yeah, right, father. Apollo told me that special someone is asking his Oracle about that someone's parentage. Do you know who that special someone is?
Zeus (innocently): No…I have no idea who that person is.
Athena (rolls eyes): Cut your innocent act, father. I know everything you're up to. The boy who was asking the Oracle about his parentage is Parthenia's son.
Zeus (feigning shock): Indeed? Surely Prince Kouros is his father!
Athena: You know very well that Prince Kouros is dead, he was killed in battle. Furthermore, Parthenia's son does not look like any ordinary mortal. I daresay he looks like one of us.
Zeus: Is that so? Well, in that case, I'm just going to my marble font.
Athena (shrugs): Suit yourself.
Exit Athena.
Exit Zeus after gazing at the marble font for a little while.
