::::: GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY
::::: ( In Homer’s meter like the first line of Odyssey)
::::: The 3 dominant Olympian Gods of Homer 
::: Glorious feats in the struggles, promoted gods to the skies.
::: Zeus became the ruler, of gods on the rocks of Olympus
::: lord of the heavens and clouds, to scare all mortals with thunders.
::: Pluto then governed the darkness, of Hades into grim prisons
::: bringing the souls of mortals from colorful life to black hell
::: under the depths of waters, and storms in Poseidon’s anger.
::: Neptune in arms like steel wool, was shaking trident great
::: over winds and waves, for bringing the storms in disaster.
::::: The deluge of Deucalion
::: During a primitive epoch, a king sacrificed the people
::: offering blood to the heavens, in flames of flesh into smokes
::: giving an odor to Zeus, whose anger filled clouds with rain.
::: Rushing waters in torrents, became tumultuous rivers
::: filling up plains and foothills, and rainfalls turned to a deluge.
::: All the Pelasgians died, but only Deucalion lived on.
::: Sooner Prometheus told him, for building an ark to survive
::: only with his wife, in durable boat in rains
::: crossing a lot of waters, that covered all mountains round.
::: After torrential rains, poured down for several days
::: cheerful the fortunate couple, walked on the summit of Othrys.
:::: Repopulation of Greeks
::: Calm then Deucalion dug up, an oracle secret of Themis
::: how to repopulate, the land with new human race.
::: So they threw back the stones, that turned into Greeks of a glory
::: like the heroes of Hellas, in army of great Achilles
::: formed by Myrmidons' crowd, in Trojan war for achievements
::: whose the big gallantry lived on, in Homer's the primitive poems.
:::: The Apeiron of Anaximander
::: Amorphous matter of Chaos, immortal was in the darkness
::: covering depths of the skies, as Apeiron over the heavens
::: giving the face of Cosmos, beyond of the primitive ethers.
::: Apeiron gave the sparkle, for making opposite games
::: Cold and hot in the darkness, created stars of the nights
::: Light of sun in the seas, created clouds of rain
::: Genesis formed all the pleasures, of colorful life in creatures
::: however death of a smile, brought storms and decay forever.
::: Several laws of seas, do not stop winds and wave
