The Lost Play

King Oeneus and his wife Althaea have a baby boy.  Three fates (maybe witches in our story?) tell Althaea that when the log on the fire burns out, her son, Meleager, will die.  She puts out the fire, and locks the log in a box.  Years go by, and Meleager grows up.  He has a good friend, yet to be named.  Meleager really likes this girl, Atalanta.  There is a big hunt for a wild boar, and Atalanta wounds it before Meleager finishes it off.  Meleager gives the victory to Atalanta.  This makes his brothers and uncle angry, and they say some rude things about her.  Meleager gets very angry, and although his friend tries to calm him down, Meleager ends up killing his brothers and uncle.  When Althaea learns about what her son has done, she takes out the log and throws it on the fire.  Meleager dies.  There should also be a subplot for the friend, who has his own romance going on.  His might actually have a happy ending.
