Soul of Serpents – the epigraph

But what, you might ask, is “Soul of Serpents” about?

Perhaps some literary quotations shall prove illuminating.

This:

“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

-Isaiah 14:13-14

Also, this:

“Lies, endless lies I spoke to serve my purpose.

Now I gainsay them all and feel no shame.

Long years I planned. Now it is done.”

-Aeschylus, Clytemnestra
