Common ancestor of gods and men
I followed Chaos
through ages of cataclysms and envies.
Boastful and exultant
I play a waiting game,
at once King and Fool.
My omen birds,
crows and ravens,
my black birds eat red berries.
My loyal dancing clowns
wear festive rings
on their Fool's Finger.
The child gods and goddesses plot
to exile me. After my Golden Age passes,
only poets will keep my myths alive.
