Nephele 4 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Yup, exactly so, Nephele. Next! Wheee! Or, we could have another one from you, Maty. That was a great one that you gave! Note to our UNRV members who may not feel they are fluent enough in English to attempt a rhyming riddle: You don't have to rhyme in that case -- you can do free verse. It's the riddle that counts the most. Next? -- Nephele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lost_Warrior 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Oh I thought of him earlier today. Wasn't sure of the myth behind him though...and couldn't remember his name either. My love had rather fled Than be taken to my bed We did run along the stream And as if within a dream A tree she did become That tree my sacred sign Who is she? Who am I?

Nice one, LW! You must be Arachne, a woman turned into a spider by Athena, following their weaving contest. I waive my turn.

ASCLEPIADES 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 Throned in splendor, O blessed goddess, Child of Zeus, Enchantress, I implore thee Slay me not in this distress and anguish, Lady of beauty. All in smiling wreathed thy face immortal, Bade me tell thee the cause of all my suffering, Why now I called thee; What for my maddened heart I most was longing.
