‘Alti's Prophecy'/Solan/Eve
Okay, so I had this hypothesis about how when Alti cursed Xena's son, Solan with not knowing the love of either his father or mother, perhaps she also cursed Eve with the same. Because it wasn't until she grew up did Eve even realize that she had had any love in her life from Xena and Gabrielle. And neither of them were around to see her grow up, making the whole "abandonment" issue she had with them justified and Alti's prophecies much more integral to the show's narrative.
Yes, I consider Gabrielle as Eve's second mother or "father" and that's a whole debate on its own that we'll address another day.
Thoughts?
