A sad tale that waxes lyrical, replete with the diabolical bastardisation of various Greek myths.

“This time the oracle predicted trouble, she was to bear a girl-child, far bigger and stronger than any before...The father had wind of her coming and so in fear, puts out the mothers ears and banished her to a wilderness, where there is only one other living soul; and he has been blinded by dog-shit..."

"A mad indulgent tale of sublime narcissism." Michael O'Pray, Independent Media.
