Eutostea, the third princess of Thebes, is visited by the mysterious guest calling himself the God Apollo in bed. In pitch-black darkness, only an outline of him said, “I have come to share a one-night love with you. Once the night passes, you will not remember me, nor shall we meet ever again.” Soon, the three princesses band together to reveal his face while he is sleeping. But the candlewax melts off the tip of the candle in Eutostea’s hand and falls on the god’s shoulder. Apollo wakes, grabs the second princess, declaring, “Princess of Thebes, admire to your heart’s content. ‘Tis the face of the mere shell you sought so dearly.”

Due to the impact of the earlier trial, quite a lot of deities were still left in Olympus and continuing their discussion. Several gods were gathered around Athena. Since she was in a sharp disagreement with Ares but was a goddess who had a respectable dignity, they all paid attention to her voice so as not to lose any of her words. Glancing at her beautiful face stiffened with anger, Apollo gave up to butt into the crowd. 


As he got up from his seat, Dionysus came close to him. Dionysus didn’t have any interest at all in how the trial proceeded. That was because Ares had always been like that; also, the reason none of the deities thought well of Ares was due to his rigid demeanor, which was like dried gum in the street, and the unrestrained personality he showed when someone picked up a fight with him.
