Lets set out on a journey We shall find the truth Like Jason, Let nothing stop us. We will gather an army Thousands even millions We shall slaughter Those who do not have faith Believe in me, And you shall Believe you can do anything. Now spread my words The ones that are invisible Only written with word of mouth The land shall be promised to us Death will do us apart Fill the hatred heart With fear of my hand The burning pits of a forsaken dungeon Shall be your downfall Only the light, Will lead the heard from the darkness My sword will be my tongue And strike the wicked down. Come with me, And let the snake Share these Golden Apples.
I like this one... I love the allusions to Greek mythology... and the last three lines are intriguing... "Come with me, And let the snake Share these Golden Apples."
I wrote this one with you in mind. I remember our discussions of Greek Mythology, and I've been reading the History of Atlantis by Lewis Spence.
Personally... I think you need to dig into the golden apple imagery even more... I was left hungry for more at the end of the poem. Unless you are starting a saga of some sort
hehe... just kidding. one of jason's trials was to retrieve the golden apples... if i am not mistaken...
"...the Golden Fleece is an allegory of Eden, Avalon, Idun, and other such Paradises. There grew the Golden Apples which Diodorus explains as synonymous of the Golden Apples, for in Greek melon means both "apple" and "sheep". Moreover, the Golden Apples served for the fabrication of the Elixir of Life, the contents of the Holy Grail. Hence, all these quests of Paradise are indeed the one of the Elixir of Life and, more exactly, of Atlantis, its true name. Such is the reason why we all are so charmed with the search of this Paradise of which all traditions speak, from the dawn of times."
Sorry I ruined your own personal interpertation of my poem. But If you were curious as to what it means then that would be it. It also has a religous undertone, as do many of my poems.
Hummm, therefore should Eris' apple of creating eden out of chaos be given to Aphrodite for her love, Athena for her wisdom or Hera for her passion? from messagenet.com The Most Beautiful Goddess One of the six Olympians, the daughter of Kronos (Cronos) and Rhea, Hera is the beautiful and powerful wife (and sister) of Zeus. Her other brothers and sisters are: Hades, Poseidon, Hestia and Demeter. She is the most beautiful of the immortals, even more beautiful than the goddess of Love, Aphrodite. Her beauty is renewed each spring as she magically washes away the ware and worry of her immortal existance. Her name appears in many stories and she is often regarded as petty and unforgiving, especially in the case of Herakles (Hercules), but in the story of Iason (Jason) and the Argonauts she is compassionate and protective.
