Temple of Artemis; Steal the cheese, But remember It isn't free! For Artemis is always hunting! Hunger. But who puts out the dairy? Wisdom. For the kid who doesn't Feel the need to thieve. For the outsider of the pack; For who wanders back Carrying foodstuffs They foraged, They collected. This is a leader. "For why did you not steal, coward?!" "I am not cowardly." "Not fit then, lackey!?" "I can lift, I can run." "Then what was it?" "The others couldn't." "Your kind then, eh?! You're kind then, eh!?" "I'm good As long as 𝘒𝘭𝘭 𝘒𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰π˜₯." It is for the stranger of the temple Who is no stranger to the temple! One who cares for the altars, one & all.

Back In Orthia
Temple of Artemis; Steal the cheese, But remember It isn't free! For Artemis is always hunting! Hunger. But who puts out the dairy? Wisdom. For the kid who doesn't Feel the need to thieve. For the outsider of the pack; For who wanders back Carrying foodstuffs They foraged, They collected. This is a leader. "For why did you not steal, coward?!" "I am not cowardly." "Not fit then, lackey!?" "I can lift, I can run." "Then what was it?" "The others couldn't." "Your kind then, eh?! You're kind then, eh!?" "I'm good As long as 𝘒𝘭𝘭 𝘒𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰π˜₯." It is for the stranger of the temple Who is no stranger to the temple! One who cares for the altars, one & all.
A way of life from long ago, from long before those old ancients ever wrote it down. Remnants of larger unity & organization among the Greeks, from like times before the mythical Trojans. It's funny when you read works from the ancient world on mythology - its meanings and their origins. The most learned must even confess to ignorance or outright confusion from lack of knowledge via record or experience.
