Stephanos was a man of great power
The great goddess Athena admired him a lot
Athena wanted Stephanos to be her love slave
She went to Stephanos one night and asked him to come with her
Stephanos loving his wife refused to go
Athena was angered and wanted revenge
Athena goddess of wisdom knew what she would do
She went to Zeus and told him that Stephanos
had refused to worship her when she asked
Zeus sent a lightning bolt through the chest of Stephanos
When Stephanos reached the land of the dead Athena came to him and offered him life again if he would except her offer but he refused
Athena being very angry cut out his tongue, eyes and cut off his ears
Now Stephanos walks through the land of the dead being deaf, dumb, and blind.

If you wrote this yourself, it's awesome.I love Greek Mythology, I've loved it ever since I was a little girl.I love the story of Persophone and Hades...Have you ever heard of it, if you have'nt I'll tell you it if you leave me a comment saying you never heard of it.

babe, this is a nice poem. i love mythology.....and the way you did this poem was very creative.
-
I don't think you need to have a period at the end of each line. It sort of spoils the flow of the poem. Just one at the end of the entire thing, means at the end of the last line should be enough.
Then, in L4, I think it should be "went" instead of 'came'. In L5, I think its "Athena" and not 'Athens'. In L10, it should be "lightning" and not 'lighting'. In the second last line, "tongue" has been mis-spelt. Rest is ok. -
Thank you and i will go recheck the grammer

WOW! This is a very informative poem. I like learning mythological stories and this one has such vivid imagery that I felt I was watching it all. Only thing the grammar needs to be checked in certain parts of the poem.
All the best,
