A free Pallas is not happy with Xerxes, and offers him a choice: drink some wine (probably poisoned), or get stabbed. Xerxes goes with the knife, and is about to fight Pallas when Lykos interrupts again and demands to know what Kimon’s doing there. Welllll, long story short, Kimon is Aegeus’ love child, rescued from poverty by Pallas to…sleep with his own half-brother. Yick. Let’s never go to this family’s reunion, you guys.
