Alexida

In Greek mythology, Alexida (Ancient Greek: Ἀλεξίδη) was a daughter of Amphiaraus, from whom certain divinities called Elasii (in Greek, Elasioi or Ἐλάσιοι, i. e. the averters of epileptic fits) were believed to be descended.[1][2]

gollark: Same with the -1 except 1 and not -7.

gollark: If you remember transformations of things at all, then the + 7 inside the || is equivalent to translating everything in the direction of negative real component by 7, so it is now the distance from the point (-7, 0) aka -7 instead.

gollark: So, |z| is the distance from the origin to z.

gollark: Oh, right, I forgot to answer this.

gollark: Well, infinite.
