Me as "Cressida" tin type version Photo 3 of 4
Based loosely on this panal
Troilus and Cressida begins seven years into the long Trojan war. Troilus, the youngest son of King Priam (King of Troy) tells Pandarus that he is in love with Cressida, the daughter of Trojan priest Calchas. He does not want his father, King Priam nor his brother Hector to know this. He also believes fighting over Helen is pointless. Privately, Pandarus lets Cressida know about Troilus' affections, both laughing at his looks. Pandarus even encourages Troilus to pursue Cressida, knowing she is not interested... However, despite her mocking words, Cressida does start to fall in love with Troilus.
Time is like a fashionable host
That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles,
And farewell goes out sighing.
