First, according to Graves's reading of the Hebron chronicle, comes No. 5-not God discovering a hiding Adam and Eve, but a man named Agenor finding his twin brother Belus making love to a girl named Hebe. The fig-leaf episode (No. 4) is the surprised lovers guiltily covering their nakedness, during which Hebe falls for Agenor, and in No. 3 is advised by the Serpent Death to give Belus an apple from the Serpent's tree. The apple drugs Belus into unconsciousness (No. 2), whereupon Hebe tells Agenor to finish his brother off, which he does...
Ultrasimplicity. U.S. physicists who have seen Heisenberg's equation still feel that it cannot quite explain all they see in their accelerators. Dr. John Grebe (rhymes with Hebe) begins with what they do see. A noted industrial researcher who was a leader in the wartime development of styrene for synthetic rubber, Grebe nevertheless has the same classical approach as Heisenberg. The secret of why the fundamental particles of matter somehow hold together in the atomic nucleus, he feels, must be less complicated than researchers believe. Reason: the rest of nature is "so beautiful and orderly and ultrasimple...

When Hebe finally leaves Greece...
...make up for this faulty casting she gives the part an interpretation that is spirited and novel, if incorrect. Robert Peters as Captain Corcoran, Roger Murphy as Dick Deadeye, and David Shapiro as Sir Joseph Porter, and all far better than average amateur performers. Nancy Ryan's Cousin Hebe is one of the finest that I have ever seen...
