What if Gahnima....

[AlteaDeo]

Had been alone? I mean, leto II died born, Paul and Chani didn't had any twin. But only a girl?

;)

seems weird to think about, still....

[Anathema]

Then we'd all die in kralized :O

Unless Ghanima got a kid with the same abilities as LetoII.

[Mahdi]

Ghanima was the strongest of them all, as Leto the 2nd said. She is the only one that never did become an "abomination". Leto was just the dominate one in his abomination.

[Anathema]

But she can't save our asses from the scary enemy we know nothing about.

[TMA_1]

Well its more than that. He saved the people from stagnating. Saved the people from a stagnet gene pool.

[Acriku]

If she was alone she probably would have gone through the Golden Path herself, if possible. Since she has "abilities" she would know that it was inevitable.

Leto wasn't abomination. He even controlled his ancestors' minds.

Leto wasn't abomination. He even controlled his ancestors' minds.

In one of his conversations with Duncan,Leto states that Ghanima was the strongest of the two, because she was the only ne who avoided bomination. Even he had to make a pack with one of his ancestors, a brutal warrior with some complicated name. nliekAlia, however, he was the dominante one in the arrangement.

[Anathema]

Both of them formed pacts with their ancestors. Ghanima had her mother to protect her from the rest.

Even he had to make a pack with one of his ancestors, a brutal warrior with some complicated name.

Was that Agammemnon? I can't remember if Leto made the "pact" with him, or if he just mentioned Agammemnon somehwere along the line.

[AlteaDeo]

well, Herbert father never made any of thatkind of "direct" link with Atreides / Atrides's connection ;)

[Acriku]

I thought he did talk about Agamemnon and the link of Atreides ancestry dates back to the greek times?

[Caid Ivik]

Agamemnon was not a brute warrior! He was a noble king. Worth of his family. Even after 30000 years.

[nemafakei]

I remember thinking the brutal warrior was a general of Hammurabi, or something. It wasn't Agamemnon.

[Anathema]

Wasn't Hammurabi a Babylonian king? I'd look it up but I got the dune books from a library.

Agamenon was the Greek dude who came home from Troje to get killed by his wife because he had a girlfriend.

[AlteaDeo]

yup, that guy was a Babylonian

[Caid Ivik]

There were many brutal warriors in our history, but Agamemnon and Hammurapi weren't known actually for it.

[The_Sadukar]

Agamenon was the Greek dude who came home from Troje to get killed by his wife because he had a girlfriend.

Nope, his wife killed him because he sacrificed their daugther before he went off to have fun

[Anathema]

Well, neither of them are very nice things to do.

[The_Sadukar]

now thats right

[nemafakei]

Ok, Ok...

Agamemnon sacrificed Iphegenia, his daughter, because otherwise the ships wouldn't have got out the harbour to get to Troy.

During the siege, Orestes, Ag's son was packed off to boarding school, his remaining systers were left with Clytemnestra (Ag's wife). At Troy, Agamemnon found himself a consort among some slaves taken from a village near Troy. Meanwhile, Clyt. and Aegisthus (Ag's cousin) lived as man and wife. These two then killed Ag. and his consort when they returned. Electra, who disliked this and complained, was forced to live in the cellar, mourning her dead father, waiting for Orestes to return so they could avenge the death of their father, by killing their mother, which they then did.

[AlteaDeo]

uh? Oreste wasn't Agamnemon's son? I saw a play last year, and Oreste was the main character... A girl! ?

Or I just mix some characters because a name is similar in English and the way we write it in french ;)

[nemafakei]

Electra was the main character of the play electra. Her brother, Orestes, is the one who returns with his teacher, the Paedagogos.

[AlteaDeo]

well, the play I saw was the story of Oreste, still, that was a girl... Wait gonna check something....

[5 minutes later]
