I love the content of these couple poems. Greek Mythology is one of my specialties And although you kept the first one whimsical when talking about a rather sad myth, you still captured the sense of it. I also like how you talked of mythological things ("abrosia" - the food of the gods) in relation to a thoroughly real person. Brilliant work. I would like to see more

I cannot, unfortunately, review the first poem because I know nil about the subject. (It was well written, though.) I'll take a stab at the second, however, but be prepared for a crappy review.

Shorter than your usual poems, but it's nice. I like the reference to ambrosia in the second line...mythological fan that I am.

"hemlock lips still questioning" favourite line.

Not the only one questioning.

Well written piece.

I like the "how the sun's kisses had burned his weathered lips—or stilled by ice" line the best. Great work.

I like how, despite the actual content of the piece, you use language to keep it whimsical. Well done :)
