I am half God before I am a woman, did
you really believe that I would not choose freedom, sky
flavored and sea beloved over the prison you kept me in? Did
you really think it was that easy to hold my heart that once
wed, you could forget me until I was needed? Did you forget
that the blood that runs through my veins is ichor not iron?
Did it not strike you, Theseus, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Achilles,
and yes, even you Paris, that I would always belong to myself
first and that is the only reason I would run?
Did no one ever teach you, that when you try to touch a
Goddess, when you treat her like she is property, you are
playing with divine fire and you and everything you love will
burn?
