Andromache-Neoptolemus  Neoptolemus considered. Andromache came in, holding Alexander and said, "Madame Queen, I am here at your command.” Antigone’s thoughts were far away — up in the clouds perhaps. She reflected not on the possible consequences of her answer, or she had never given it.  “Oh, dear, I am ill. Come nearer to me!" Her head sank to one side, and great drops, as large as peas, broke forth upon her clammy face. When Andromache went near to help her out, then she spoke gentle smiling through her loving tears at her eldest son, “Fortunate you are having Andromache as mother! Good luck to you my son... Hi, my dear Andromache! Have my second son Tharrypas Ek Epirus also as your son…… Do give me a promise that you will bore more from my husband as his spouse, queen of Epeirus and never look back and desert them at any time. Just let me know one fact, is your own son Astyanax is not missing you…alas what a woman can do …is he alive!” enquiringly asked her being the last wish. Andromache was in tears and said, “Yes. He is alive!” This shocked Neoptolemus exclaimed, “What!!!!” Andromache. “Yes, master. Hector’s son got away to Sicily from all the madness going on at the time at the insistences of Cassandra! You promised me not harm Astyanax even at the cost your reputation among Greeks.”…..Read Quest of Olympias…Sivkishen, Author
