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. :D

 

Next?

Oh I thought of him earlier today. Wasn't sure of the myth behind him though...and couldn't remember his name either. :D

 

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?

Is she Daphne?

Are you Apollo?

I can tel youl the truth

Let's try this one:

 

"Those fellows were bad losers

so when I beat all them

even in his prison, my brother

ate some teen , if not the men"

"My father's father had four legs

my brother's father too

my brother have some horns

but legs? just two"

I am Androgeus, and my brother is the Miniotaur.

This is an easy one. :D

 

Renowned weaver, once the best

Was put to Athena's test

Her favor I can't win for sure

And now I weave for ever more.

 

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. Anyone who wants (especially anyone who hasn't yet taken a turn), feel free to jump in!

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.

Aphrodite! (I finally got one!)

 

Here's my entry:

 

Oooh! Who do I see?

The fairest lad of all, to me

There is not a prettier face

Closer to the pond, to embrace

That fairest visage looking back at me!
