I can't even imagine how that is supposed to work. Well, not exactly. See this site for a better explanation of the mythology than that given on Wikipedia. In brief, Zeus kidnapped the princess (Aegina) and, in the form of an eagle, whisked her off somewhere and got her pregnant. The fruit of this union was Aecus, who became king of the island Aegina. Hera, annoyed at the philanderings of her husband, killed off all the inhabitants of that island named after her husband's lover. Aecus (being now a king devoid of minions) implored Zeus to repopulate the island after seeing a colony of hard-working ants, and Zeus obliged by changing the ants into hard-working, hard-fighting people. Aecus was also the grandfather of Achilles, and the Myrmidons were the troops that he brought to the siege of Troy. This association is also retained today in the names of many genera of ants, e.g. Myrmecia, Myrmica. -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.                         - Pattiann Rogers

However I think we need to formalise the minion categories in rank order, just so we know where we stand in the minion hierarchy: 1) Shadowing Sidekick 2) Favoured Sychophant 3) Obsequious Toady 4) Grovelling Lickspittle 5) Odious Lackey 6) Fawning Drudge 7) Insignificant Peon Now, so Wesley knows what to expect and demand from his minions, we need to work out some job descriptions. Obviously all categories require grovelling servility and fanatical, unswerving loyalty even in the face of overwhelming odds or evidence otherwise Wesley will never be able to crow about his minions to the Powers That Be at UD and the DI. After all, that bunch have REALLY servile minions, they even give up their hard won right to critical or rational thought. Suggestions please to the usual address. Louis -------------- Bye.

He is crafty: dulling men's wariness, or working on their fears, as serves the occasion. (Suddenly I drew myself up. My hands worked. My eyes glittered. Such malice was in them that men stepped back from me. I bared my teeth, and then with a hissing breath I spat before Wesley's feet, and darting to one side, I fled down the stair.) -------------- Myth: Something that never was true, and always will be.
