| Aristophanic Addition | |

Often at the end of a serious work the great Greek playwrights would add a Satyr play, self mocking. Please consider this not-too-serious offering as a Brekkekek koax koax to Long Night. Aristophanic Addition Did the gods of Olympus have the ultimate say? (Who did leave that serpent in the young maiden's way?) When she was disposed of, in their loftiest fashion did they then turn his mind to a different passion? Were the results of his forecasts merely rhetorical when he sharpened his skills as yet one more oracle? Did his love songs still sound as sweet and as tender When they were directed to a different gender? The final result, though: when he got on their tits The Lesbian Maenads tore him to bits. They scattered his pieces, hither, thither and yon But the gods left the Lyre we can still gaze upon.
