Chapter 1

Eve got out of her bed and found her mother cleaning the house more precisely than usual; "Mother why are you scrubbing every corner of the house?"

"Your father is coming home from battle and the house must be perfect." She replied.

"But why?"

"Because he protects us and brings food to the table."

"Right."

"Women should always go to great lengths to please the men in their lives, for we can't live without them."

"Why not?"

"Women can't defend themselves; we can't go fight in wars. No, our place is in the kitchen and bed."

Eve didn't say anything, but she didn't agree with anything her mother just said, she just found it too hard to believe that women can't defend themselves.

Her mother had finally accepted the table as clean, after scrubbing it five times, and moved on to dusting.

The door opened and he father entered the house; "Oh Lionel, I missed you so much!" Her mother said rushing to her father.

"Yes me to." He said disinterestedly.

"How was your trip back?"

"It was ok, so what's for dinner?"

Eve secretly rolled her eyes; he has been away from her mother for quite some time now, and yet all he worries about is food.

"Lamb and vegetables, just how you like it."

"Good, then let's eat, I'm starving."

Her mother looked a little disappointed, but put on a smile; "Of course darling. I'll go dish up for you."  

"Just be quick about it, I'm famished."

"Yes, dear." She turned her attention to Eve, "Eve come and help me, please."

"Yes mother." And Eve followed her mother into the kitchen.

After everyone had food in front of them they gave thanks to the gods for the privilege to have food and then Eve's father started pigging down his food, messing all over the table her mother spent so much time cleaning and yet her mother said nothing.

After dinner her father stood up; "I'm going to bed, join me." He said to her mother.

"In a minute, I just need to clean up here."

"Don't be long." He said and made his way to their bedroom.

"Mother, aren't you tired from all the cleaning."

"I'm exhausted."

"Then why don't you relax instead of going to bed with father?"

"It's a woman's job to please her husband whenever he wishes."

"But..." She started to say but her brother, Jason, barged in the house and sat on the chair putting his dirty feet on the clean table; "Hey get your feet off of the table!" Eve demanded.

"Leave your brother be, Eve." said her mother.

"But mother, you just cleaned the table and he's messing everything up."

"Have more respect for your brother, like I said; he's a man and he can do what he wants."

"Yes little sister, now go do some chores or something." Jason said slapping her on the head.
