Corinth poking her head out of the water and enticing Athens to take a swim alongside her. Athens replies negatively (because he doesn't want to become owl souvlaki).

[...] He felt alienated, weak. His legs couldn't bear keeping him up straight and walked with the aid of Morea, a descendant of Sparta...he who had died the last time they had been emprisoned. His hair had thinned, his skin had grown pale, sensitive from the lack of sunlight...he who once had so much power now couldn't even walk by himself, go outside without covering his body; as if in shame.
He gradually came to reacquire some of his strength, enough to participate in the war against the Ottomans. The others told him of the hardships, the atrocities they had to suffer after the fall, after her death, making his goal all more clear...as if he had done this before.  
History was repeating herself. [...]

Personifications of the ancient greek city-states of Argos and Sparta. They are twins (2 minute difference) and they absolutely despise eachothers' face.
