Lost Halls among These Stars

[Distant Carrier]

Strange clouded fragments of an ancient glory,
Late lingerers of the company divine,
They breathe of that far world wherefrom they come,
And here arrive late, but in regal guise

Very nice!

I paraphrase Herodotus. For more about the gods I invoke avoid the tradition of Ovid and read instead Classical Mythology A to Z. They might thank you.

Also many prefer Mythology by Edith Hamilton, but some of us believe her interpretations are for the modern stage and not accurate in the least - in the tradition of Ovid.
