'THE GREAT GOD APOLLO IS DEAD'
the great god apollo is dead, florid
blood like smattered roses on the grecian
asphalt, where once delos was flocked
full-circle by kingly swans, now, the nymphs
weep for their great King, his golden breast pearlescent
as ichor and odor of marigold ambrosia bleeds
like the crust of a spanakopita onto the laurels and pine.
oh apollo! great god of mystery. you who conquered
the python and cursed cassandra with a dream of dew,
traipsing across coveted flocks with lyre, stealing maidenheads,
robbing sheep, great artificer of device, great machine of poetry.
who nibbled homer's ears (for blindness makes the better of us)
and tickled catallus' ass with a sun-bright bow - rammed straight
up to his head, aright! what would sappho be without your sister’s
sweet kiss on the isle of lesbos in the grace of doe-eyed artemis? for,
those fairy maids danced twine for you in Asterion's labyrinth.
midas' touch is pale compared to the flax of your dead hair, apollon!
vain god apollo, beneficent wondermaker, he of cymbal and philosophy.
when calliope braids your drying hair, mourning as the many men and women
you had bull-jump in Knossos over your blooming corpse (was hyacinthus' disc-death
any worse than you, forgotten Apollyon of the Pit?) cast out of temples long ago,
fain wanderer of fair fortune, the ephebe visitor of Germania who could not die -
timbrels echo in Hyperborea as the bears of cold climes (where dahlias grow)
clamor at the rain that falls on your bronze pelvis.
There goes the grass.
There, go the ashes.
#apollo#poem#cassandra#calliope#hyacinthus#that time Rilke wrote about Apollo going to Hyperborea for the winter and it was just Germany#Also the fact most historians think Hyperborea to the Ancient Greeks WAS Germany#And delos was flocked with kingly swans#“Where the dahlias grow” - Swan Island#Lohengrin#Schwaneninsel#“I've spit prophecies in your eye like Cassandra and damned you”#Thanks Apollo#Greek Mythology

Delos - the Greek Island where you are not allowed to stay overnight.
I want to talk about one of my favourite Greek islands, Delos. Located just a few kilometres southwest of Mykonos, Delos is a small island that packs a big punch.
However, no one is allowed to stay overnight on Delos as it's an archaeological site and a protected area. Visitors are only allowed to stay on the island during the day and have to leave before the last ferry departs. This is to preserve the island's fragile ecosystem and protect the archaeological sites from damage or vandalism.
Getting to Delos is easy - just hop on a ferry from Mykonos, and you'll be there in no time. The island is only 3 km long and 1.5 km wide, so it's perfect for exploring on foot. Delos is famous for its ancient Greek ruins, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island was once the centre of the Cyclades, and it's said that the god Apollo was born there.
So, what can you do on the island? First up, you have to visit the ancient ruins. The archaeological site is extensive, and you can easily spend hours wandering around and exploring. Be sure to check out the Terrace of the Lions, one of the island's most famous landmarks.
Next, head to the beach. Because the island is small, there are few, and they tend to be rocky, but they are worth visiting.
Finally, take a stroll around the island. Delos is small enough to easily walk around in a few hours. Along the way, you'll see beautiful views of the sea and the surrounding islands.

The Island of Delos: A Lesson in Greek Mythology
As the cruise ship arrived in Mykonos, I learned that I could board a ferry to Delos, the island of the gods. I immediately approached the kiosk to pick up my ticket since I had not made previous arrangements and tickets sell out fast. In only a couple of hours I would be departing on the MV Delos Express and exploring the uninhabited island considered the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. As…

This bronze head, found on the island of Delos in 1912, represents one of the most extraordinary masterpieces of #Hellenistic art that has survived to this day.
It dates back to the 1st or 2nd century BC. and is known among Anglo-Saxon scholars as the "Worried Man of Delos" due to the incredible expressiveness of his features.
It is currently preserved in the Archaeological Museum of #Athens.
