Atonement for Prometheus
   who procured Olympic flames
   for mortal cause
   ungodly throes

you stray from clay
   divinely blithe
   Athena's breath inspiriting
   refined by Aphrodite's hands

(in wedlock key to afterthought)

two vengeful vessels: you, the jar
and beauty's ruse, the Trojan Horse.
 
Once curious, the lid removed,
   all curses surge without remorse.

Yet, Grecian Eve
      vamped face of blame
 
   your final gift
 
       this remnant hope

       leaves but the least
    we need
to cope.
