This work's plot comes from Benjamin Hederich's Mythological Lexicon, rather than from a better-known account.  The title character makes a decision which upsets a High Priestess, who wants to get on with the Festival of Roses.  That decision is supported by the bellicose Asteria and opposed by Prothoe, who later advises the title character to make a secret alliance.  The title character discloses that she was told to seek out a famous hero by her mother, Otrere, and disgusts him by explaining a certain surgery which was first undergone by Tanais.  In the penultimate scene, Meroe anonunces that the title character has not only killed that hero, but assisted her dogs in ravaging his corpse.  In her defense, the title character notes that the words "kisses" and "bites" rhyme, which presumably justifies the killing of Achilles.
