And so I see before me
Men, mere mortals
Disciples of Zeus
Wild and undisciplined
No better, all, than Satyrs.

Is there a reason
That you are writing like this?
One Neffe was enough.

[herateleia]

If you think me such as Neffe you are hopelessly mistaken; far further do I reach
And far further falls my shadow.

[tinminiskirt]

Intimidating. Care to give me a name I can match with that shadow?

[herateleia]

Your sarcasm does not pass unnoticed; do not dance with that delusion.
But I have more pressing battles to attend to;
I am called by many names
But most constantly as Hera.

[tinminiskirt]

...as in Zeus's wife Hera?

[herateleia]

Yes, the very one and same - though he seems to hold no dominion here.
