the forthright and noble Penelope.
Ship reaches shoreline as Nyx* waves goodbye
and heartless Hyperion's advent is nigh.
*Aeolus = Keeper of the Winds *The god of dusk - Astreaus
*Fates = There are three, even the gods and goddesses fear to interfere with them.
*Nyx = a figure of such exceptional power and beauty, that she is feared by Zeus himself.
