      A daughter in Mycenae plans on using one in her revenge.

      Completely at a loss in Chester, Essex and Nottingham ......

        Indeed it does.
        Apologies for previous short reply; was just leaving friends and am now back in hotel.
        You need to find two more axes.
        The Chester lad made his first operatic appearance in Orford. Google "chester mystery orford axe".
        Essex man is called Robert. Google "robert essex nottingham axe".

            I'm back from my pennine wanderings to see that you've felled it, anton.

            Have you calculated the x,y,z connection?

              Elektra (a daughter in Mycenae): Was Bluten muss? (Who must bleed?)

              Then Elektra reveals who is to be the actual victim: it is Klytaemnestra herself. She goes on to describe how the gods must be appeased once and for all. She must be awakened and chased around the house just like an animal that is being hunted. Only when she wishes that all was over and after envying prisoners in their cells, she will come to realize that her prison is her own body. At that time, the axe with which she killed her husband and which will be handed to Orest by Elektra, will fall on her. Only then the dreams will stop.

              Sem (one of Noah's sons) in Noye's Fludde (based on a Chester mystery play):

              Father, I am all readye bowne;
              An axe I have, and by my crowne!
              As sharpe as anye in all this towne,
              For to goe therto.

              Roberto Devereux (Donizetti), Act 2 (Robert is the Earl of Essex):

              The Queen approaches Cecil to find out what has been decided. Cecil declares that the sentence is death. The Queen, asking Raleigh why the whole process took so long, learns that Robert had a shawl in his possession which he resisted giving over. It is handed to her. Nottingham enters and pleads for Robert's life (Non venni mai si mesto), insisting that he is innocent, but the Queen continues to describe how she knows that Robert has been unfaithful and, when he is brought in, confronts him, showing him the scarf. Nottingham sees it as well and recognizes it. Furious, he declares that he will have vengeance; while at the same time, Elizabeth offers Robert his freedom if he reveals the name of her rival. He refuses and she signs the death warrant, announcing that a cannon shot will be heard as the axe falls. Nottingham fumes that the axe is not a suitable punishment.

              Now, as Flay has said, we just need the x, y, z connection.

              (Hope you enjoyed your walks, Flay! Misty morning here in Holt, but I expect it will clear later. Binoculars at the ready for bird watching at Blakeney.)

                  I thought you had when you commented.....merely making a point.

                  We have got three axes.
                  In mathematics/geometry etc, the labels x, y, and z are used to identify directions (hence pointers) or axes (plural of axis).

                  So, although I have skipped them in the AA sequence, they are implicit in the answer to the a.

                  Flay may be the guide, but in solving the a, the honours fall on you, so let's be 'aving you!

                        - a fiendish connection between the three As - practically an axes of evil. Bravo Pulcie and anton!
