Eurynome, the Lonely Dancer
In the beginning, Eurynome,
The Goddess of All Things,
Rose naked from Chaos.
She found nothing upon
Which to rest her feet, and thus,
She divided the sea from the sky.
She danced lonely upon
The waves of the sea.
She danced towards the South, and
The Wind set in motion behind her
Seemed something new and strange
With which to begin a work of creation.
Wheeling about, she caught hold of
This North wind, rubbed it between
Her hands, and behold!
The great serpent Ophion.
[...]
Eurynome and Ophion made their home upon
Mount Olympus where he vexed her by
Claiming to be the author of the Universe.
Forthwith, she bruised his head with her heel,
Kicked out his teeth, and banished him to the
Dark caves below the Earth
[...]
She took joy in her creation, but soon found
Herself alone desiering the face, voice,
Ear and warmth of another of her own.
Eurynome stood up and once again
Began to dance alone upon the waves.
