Ἀπόλλων


Citizens of Delphi rush toward the festivity:
    Ladies! Please! One at a time!
    Healers, hold on tight to your medicine jars!
    Archers! Refrain from demonstrating your skill; it is highly unnecessary.
    Musicians, the crowd simply can't hear you...maybe later.
    Soothsayers! Stop muttering underneath your breath.
    Artists, how many paintings did you bring? What!
    You there! The poet, yes, you...are you writing this down?

Brother...why are you laughing? These poor mortals...

    Wonderful

    Very creative. What a very unusual write. Sure took some imagination to come up with that title. And the text is very interesting. Congratulations on the bronze.

    This is very cool, and you wrote it in the traditional style too! You have the greatest ending, it is a delightful tribute to the Ludi Apollinares!
