Eta2 but you are forgiven, since you used my favorite phrase, "amn't i". How did you know?  |
King Phineus was a prophet blinded by Zeus and plagued by the Harpies for blinding his sons and letting their stepmother kill them.
He was therefore a phoneus, a murderer in Greek.
And Phaneus was one of the names for Apollo, god of prophecy. Which gift Phineus had.
So that joke is a lot smarter than you thought. It’s all in the subtext, you know?
I love saying “amn’t I”! I have since I was two.
