Killed by my own soul mate;

Her arrow hit my skull;

Radiant Artemis killed me for sport;

Pain worse than the scorpion’s sting.

I think of Merope;

Parents wouldn’t have us together;

I tried to force my way through, got blinded in the process;

Lucky I looked up to sun.

 

Now I’m up there in the constellations;

Watching her and all the suitors;

Can’t do anything, a god watches things unfold;

But I warn, be wary of my wrath! A great hunter I am.

 

No one can separate a king from his crown;

No one could take Penelope away from Odysseus;

You can’t have a man without his soul;

I’d like to see em try.
