A Father's Fallen

This is one of my proudest works. Mythology has always been one of my greatest fields of interest. The stories, lore, and untold tales have such an alluring nature, one that cannot be displaced by the simplicity of novels or fictions (even though mythology would be constituted as fiction). In this poem, Ares, the God of War, overthrows his father to acquire all power beheld within the kingdom of Olympus. Basic gist, and straight to the point right? That's not all.

Zeus, being imprisoned by Ares after their spiraling conflict, is cast into the abyss of Tartarus. Within the confines of this poem, I go about meticulously describing the area where Zeus is confined in. All the torment he endures, all the suffering he goes through, all born out of an endless cycle which all of the Gods have started, and non have ended. (Sound Familiar?)
