Patroclus preaches in the desert but it's not until he is decapitated and his goat hair armor is taken that Jesus takes up his arms, not until throwing some funeral games in memory of his dead friend, where he turns some water to wine because the mixing bowls were all dirty. He then goes berserk and chases Herod's son, Pilate three times around the walls of Jerusalem's old temple. His apostle Ajax betrays him for thirty silver cups, thirty slaves and thirty prized whores. He is promptly punished by God who sends Archangel Hermes to take his minds away. Ajax hangs himself in shame after having fucked some goats to death. Meanwhile Jesus is crucified in Paris with a stake through the heel, which was where Mary had held him when she had baptised him in the Jordan. Zeus raises him from the dead and makes him serve the Olympian gods at their table forever, because he was THAT good looking and the Greeks (Jews, whatever) were notorious poofs. Back on Earth Paul, a blind and illiterate Hellenized Jew who sang at parties, puts Jesus' story in dactylic hexameter and starts a worldwide semi-suicidal doomsday cult. Αμήν. Τίτλοι τέλους.

Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little nymphets in,
