Cleopatra and Antony changed all poets
poets died willingly with the serpent, Viper who feasted on Cleopatra's breast.
All poetry died in the Roman world view.
All poets were mocked, flogged in the market place, Imposters, hung by their necks till dead.
Poetry was sung underground, passed on in secret, until once again poets were recognised as born, a gift from the gods, and ultimately an imitation of the Psalm singer poet Himself.
