Nostos Odysseus verse 3
Xeinia between Guestfriends are binding
Holy Oaths
Apparently that meant Nothing to
Trojan Prince Alexandros
Most Handsome Man in Troia, Illfated,
he caused Troad's Fall
Lord God Zeus' Proxy in Judgement,
he chose Love above All
Accepting PaleGold Goddess Aphrodite's
Offering of Fairest Maid on Earth
Over bribes Queen Goddess Hera
& Aphthiton Pallas Athene proffered
To gain a Gold Kallistei Apple
Discordian Goddess Eris threw
Into Peleus & Thetis' Wedding Feast
only She was not invited to
Dooming Trojans & Akhaians alike
as Wargod Ares claimed
Broken Bodies & sorry Souls for
Lord Aidoneus, bloody Aristeia
Could not save them when they fought
& died
No longer Mortal, at last they were Wise
