The Gorgon's Cry
Oh Lord Poseidon,
Why do you so forsake
The daughters of Phorcys?
My sisters are now lost to me.
My queen, your lover Medusa, was
Made a monster by cruel Athena
And murdered by her champion Perseus;
The other, youngest sister Stheno,
Lies shattered at my feet,
Turned to stone by our sisters dead gaze
And crushed beneath
Hermes adamantine blade.
And I, oh tortured Euryale am I, was left here-
Lifeless stone imprisoning an
Immortals raging spirit.
Oh great Poseidon,
Lord of the seas,
I beg you-hear my cries!
Release me, oh lord,
Or I beg you,
Destroy me.
