Ode to Odisseas.

Finally. The poetry thread this forum deserves.

Let me kick things off with some Sappho:

Cytherea, thy dainty Adonis is dying!
Ah, what shall we do?
O Nymphs, let it echo, the voice of your crying,
The greenwood through!
O Forest-maidens, smite on the breast,
Rend ye the delicate-woven vest!
Let the wail ring wild and high:
"Ah for Adonis!" cry.
O Sappho, how canst thou chant the bliss
Of Kypris - after such day as this?
"Oh Adonis, thou leavest me - woe for my lot!
And Eros, my servant, availeth me not!"
So wails Cytherea, grief-distraught.
"Who shall console me for thee? There is none -
Not Ares my god-lover, passionate one
Who sware in his jealousy forth to hale
Hephaestus my spouse from his palace, if he
Dared but to lift his eyes unto me.
Not he can console me, Adonis, for thee!"
Wail for Adonis, wail!

Seeing as people want a keeper with an aura about him, he's about the only player I have heard that has a name with an aura

Time for some Cavafy:

As you set out for Nottingham,
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.

(I'll leave who the Laistrygonians, Cyclops, and wild Poseidon may be for those more versed in Forest lore)

More chance of Odysseus in the underworld.

Tell me, O Muse,
of the man of many devices,
who wandered full many ways
after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy.
Many were the men whose cities he saw
and whose mind he learned, aye,
and many the woes he suffered
in his heart upon the sea,
seeking to win his own life
and the return of his comrades.

Makes sense to me. A no 1 and decent no 2 for the price of Henderson. If Henderson was after 100,000 a week as was rumored, then we're likely saving in wages as well.
