Cultural References

 * The, mentioned by Trismegistus, is a thought experiment proposed by the Greek philosopher , exploring the idea of murdering in self-defense. It asks: if there are two drowning sailors and a plank that can only support one, and one keeps the other from clinging to it and is later rescued, is it considered murder or self-defense?
 * Two real-life cases of witches who had their accusations overturned or survived their trials are referenced:
 * , full name Bridget Ellen "Biddy" O'Connor (1798 – 1872) but better known by her mother's maiden name "Early," was a 19th-century Irish woman reputed as a herbalist, healer, or white witch in east County Clare, Ireland, using powers supposedly inherited from her mother or fairies to help and heal poor people. In frequent conflict with the Catholic Church, the medical profession, landlords, the police and the judiciary, the Anglo-Irish authorities tried her under a medieval witchcraft law in 1865, but she was acquitted because nobody would testify against her. Her story became the subject of folk ballads and entered Irish legend, notably in the writings of William Butler Yeats.
 * , full name Alice Kyteler (1263 – after 1325), was the first recorded person condemned for witchcraft in Ireland and one of the first recorded convictions of witchcraft in Europe. A wealthy four-time widow, in 1324, she was accused by the local bishop and gossips of poisoning her former husbands for their estates, sacrificing animals to demons, heresy, sorcery, and having sex with an incubus. In reality, she was probably only guilty of money-lending, which poor medieval folk would have deeply resented. However, it was Kyteler's servant,, tortured into giving a possibly false confession, who was burned at the stake, while Kyteler herself fled to Europe and promptly disappeared from history.
