Thanks Rob!It's based on the mythology of Zeus' fear that his cdrihlen with first wife Metis- Goddess of Wisdom would be more powerful than him so he tricked Metis into turning into a fly, then swallowed her. She gave birth to daughter Athena Goddess of Wisdom, Warrior protector of Athens inside Zeus' body and forged and hammered Athena's armour thereby causing him to have a huge headache. Athena sprang from his head fully formed and ended up being a favourite so maybe I should change the ending?? I love Mytholgy, Ancient Greek in particular and the problem with this type of poetry is that not everyone gets it but I don't want to give everything away. Dorothy Porter and Frank Bidart use a lot of mythological references in their poetry so maybe I need to learn from them a bit more on how to do it better.Thank you so much for your feedback Rob. I really appreciate it.Cheers.
