AW: [Changeling] - Piraten aus St. Malo
Als kleine Anregung für Schwur-Formeln:
[Habe ich gerade bei der Quellenrecherche entdeckt; es handelt sich um einen Vertrag zwischen Hannibal und Philipp von Makedonien; im Original ist der Text griechisch - was ja logisch ist, er ist aus den Res Graeciae - ich habe die englische Übersetzunge genommen]
"...This is a sworn treaty made between us, Hannibal the great Mago, Myrca, Barmacar and all other Carthaginian senators present with him, and all Cathaginians serving under him, on the one side Xenophanes the Athenian, son of Cleomachus, (...), the Macedonians and allies on the other side.
In the presence of Zeus, hera and Apollo; in the presence of the Genius of Carthage, of Heracles and Iolaus: in the Presence of Ares, Triton and Poseidon: in the presence of the gods who battle for us and the Sun, the Moon and Earth; in the presence of Rivers, Lakes and Waters: in the presence of all the gods who poessess Carthage: in the presence of alle the gods who possess Macedonia and the rest of Greece: in the presence of all the gods of the army who preside over this oath.
Thus said Hannibal the general, (...), that as seemeth good to you and to us, so should we bind ourselves by oath to be even as friends, kinsmnen and brothers. ..."
