Άρείων (Areion)


Poseidon, Poseidon

You have captivated me since I was a child.

I have loved you and your many names always:
Enosichthon,
Seischthon,
Ennosigaios,
Neptune,
E-NE-SI-DA-O-NE,
PO-SE-DA-WO-NE

Brother of Zeus and Hades

I have loved your grace and respected your temper
feared your might and power
Tumultuous blue thundering waves against soft sand shore

Alas, I must confess to you, I love Areion, your son even more.

With thunder beneath his hooves, Areion made off with me heart
and from him I shall never part.

Areion, Areion
Son of the Sea,

with grace, temper, might, and power
not so unlike your father's.
I have loved you since I was a child.
