[hometext] => Inspired by studying Greek mythology
[bodytext] => Of all the gods I do fear A woman-like creature Hair of snakes, rattlesnake tale Feminine hands See, hear her slithering, hissing upon the ground A guardian protectress Born a Gorgan, a chthonic monster Daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Beware the eyes, they are a tale of woe Many a man turned to stone at her deadly sight Statues, they are turned into frozen and endless time Hated by all mortal men Great Zeus! What curse caused such horrific birth as this creature from Hades? All my days upon this Grecian land I must protect my vision from this hideous thing Or a stone figure I myself will become.
