Primal rage arising from the La Brea tar pits, the Alley Oopsinto “I wake up screaming”, comparable to the Oracle at Delphi’s “Remember the Alamo. Everybody wants top billing,peoples people. “Beware the Ides of March.” Your Grecian Prince sailing from Athens, across the seas to the island of Crete,
a Spartan yardstick, from the Island of Cypress.

Not a diplomatic metaphor like “The arrival of the Queen of Sheba” But a foreboding of bestial like King Kong mayhem, downloading Fay Wray (into her Queen of Sheba role) never anticipated the blood thirsty curdling of the Minotaur, the foam from both corners of his mouth.
What did she know about Frankenstein Dracula larger than life monster fantasies, lurking in a cave off the Island of Cypress..Hadn’t her father, the King of Greece, from his palace in Athens,warn her of awakening the Minotaur, of his cannibal like propensities.
“Remember Princess. Caveat emptor. Go softly and carry a big stick may b e a cliché. But the monster may catch your scent, off the Mediterranean. You’re my only daughter.. Put yourself inmy rolebls. Who can afford losing an only daughter? A Princess at that!.”

Meanwhile the Minotaur tossed and turned in his lair, the Princess’s boat streaming toward the Island, the Minotaurwhipping the sweaty beads, off his face. “Grrr,” he howled, staggering to the front of the cave. “Who is the wench that dares to launch her sailboat upon my legacy.”

“Ophelia, the King’s daughter. Odysseus’s sister, my Monster,”cried his shadow off the wall.
Mister Monster bared his toothless fangs. “Your brother is ournemesis… a struggle to the very end, your Odysseus wore out our twin soul, ”his trunk sized hairy leg, scraping the sand, where the battle royal
raged so many thousand of years ago as Time is measured in the Delphi Oracle’s calendar of revenge.“

The monster’s twin brother placed his hairy arms upon the hull of the boat. Pushing off, he assailed the Princess, the sister of Odysseus, the Greek Prince who annihilated deleted his image, ousting his own twin soul into Eternity.
In a marathon battle for the ages, the seas parting for Odysseus,angling his sails into the wind, on his way back to the Athens of our Civilization…

”Remember the Alamo, People Peoples. .. their modus operandi being top billing .”
