Original Cast of ARISTOS: the Musical
Phoenix’s Theme
[PHOENIX]
Achilles. My prince. Wait
You all know about my misfortune. The gods decreed that I would never bear children of my own, but that didn’t matter once your father took me in. You were just a baby. Of course, you spat up on me and fussed in my arms, but you refused to go to the royal banquets with anyone else. Nobody else was allowed to cut your meat or hold your cup. Only old Phoenix
I don’t blame you for your anger. None of us do. But indulge me. I only wish for you to hear this one story. Have you heard of Meleager and Clеopatra?
