   Summary

   He couldn’t do it.

   He couldn’t kill him.

   Perhaps Rome would scowl at the name of Phoebus Apollo for the rest of its empire’s reign. Perhaps it would go down in the history books that the mighty lord of the sun was a selfish, entitled coward, unable to kill his lover for the sake of the people’s wellbeing.
