Okay, so you caught me cheating a little. My mind boggled at coming up with a modern equivalent to a gold apple with 'Kallisti' inscribed on it. I also tried to keep the story under 3K words, so I figured I could get away with not rewriting the entire Trojan War.

With understatement as my watchword, I'll see what I can do to spring the trap.

ps. What in the world do you mean by the three uses rule?
