Interesting reading on Father's Day,* but I was nonetheless very happy to be given a hardcover copy of Stephanie McCarter's Ovid translation.

"'O why must #Juno, goddess of sweet brides, and why should #Hymen also, favour us when man with woman cannot join in wedlock, but both are brides?'
The other maiden flamed with equal love, and often prayed for Hymen to appear."

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.

Move forests, shake the mountains, make earth rumble,
Call ghosts from graveyards. I can make the moon
Darken, the car of the Sun turn pale at my singing,
The Dawn turn pale at my poisons.

Time for #mythologymonday! Since we've already talked about Ganymede's disappearance (ahem, kidnapping) in the #myth of #Aquarius... how about a myth about the #constellations #Libra and #Virgo?
In #GreekMythology, Astraea is the goddess of justice (or innocence/purity/truth). She lived in the Golden Age, before the rule of Zeus. Long story short, Zeus takes over, and the Ages pass... and things get awful!
By the Iron age, Astraea is horrified by the world & disappears (escapes?) into the stars, where she awaits the return of the Golden Age.

The head of Argus (as with stars the skies)
Was compass'd round, and wore an hundred eyes.
But two by turns their lids in slumber steep;
The rest on duty still their station keep;
Nor cou'd the total constellation sleep.
(#Ovid. Metamorphoses, Book I. trans. Dryden)
Argus Panoptes, in the guise of a headlamp display on a Vespa.
Colindale, March 30 2008.

Full sail, I voyage
Over the boundless ocean, and I tell you
Nothing is permanent in all the world

A few lines by an old Roman (originally), relevant for the day. When I was a teenager I spent a lot of time inside this long poem by Ovid. On the blog is a short excerpt from the version I lived with.

Though I won't be watching it life as I have a group watch of the Globe production of "Metamorphoses" (on Globe Player) with friends first. Frankly it's going to be a fantastic evening. But also: aaaaaaah. ;-) #ITVEndeavour #GlobePlayer #ShakespearesGlobe #Ovid

The cave of Mars was dress’d with mossy greens:
There, by the wolf, were laid the martial twins.
