it’s an honor to speak with a god,“ i say. Apollo laughs, the sound settling under my ribs. “i am not the sort of creature you want to hear the voice of.” i touch his shoulder in a frail attempt at consolation. he blinks, easy eyes melting into sky. “nor touch,” he finishes. “it’s Icarus, isn’t it?” i have to ask. “you are remembering him today.” his nose is red, his eyes strained from crying. there are scuff marks on his shoes from kicking the wall. his still young body is thin, bones poking through sweatshirt. raised welts rest on his arms from clutching too tightly. “i wish i could remember,” he says at last, looking out the window into the sun. “but all i can do is feel the agony he left behind.

Glorious runner, A winged flyer of heaven! Hermes my god, Come to hear my hymns and praise! I welcome you here, To a place built for the gods and for worship! My altar beckons you, messenger! In warm summer air, You can be found training beside athletes and children alike. On bikes, with basketballs- They all bear one thing in common: They glorify you with their actions and level of Arete. Sweat pours down their faces, And stings their eyes. But they do not give up, No, their skill continues to beat itself and increase. You spar with the fittest,   Throw punches with the new, Everyone is thankful for the beauty of your athleticism. Our bodies are shaped by your constant voice, Pushing us forward, We grow, And are stronger in faith. Hermes who shines at the Olympic games, We are granted medals of favour when we put your gift ahead of the rest, Like a glowing trophy, We shine, Loved by a god. Rows of people stand out to watch the races, Covered in paint, they’re fierce in who they wish to win. The chairs are empty, But the stadium is full. Instead of chariots we use our bodies, Like horses they tug and pull us ever onwards. When the winner is called you cheer with the crowd, And crown another mortal with immortal victory! Hermes, my god, I praise you and thank you. I say khaire,” And will remember you in another song, too!

Poseidon of the raging seas, I call upon your name! Come and listen to my song of praise, For each word and fragment is pieced together for you! Your beard flows like the ocean, It’s curls smooth and topped with salt. The eyes that peer out above it are as deep and blue as the waves you control! Rows of hair top your head, Blonde and brown, bleached by the sun’s mighty rays. Those locks tumble to your waist, Thick and always full of water. Your trident stands beside you, Covered in the green tinge of time. Along the rocks you gaze far away, into the place where you reign and roam. Amphitrite holds her own scepter, Sitting beside you with love and grace. Her beauty defeats all of the ocean’s lovely colours and animals, Like a mermaid in disguise she sits upon her own coral throne. You hold her hand, harmonious and loyal. Together you steer the waters of every sea, Like a synchronized duo, You two are always knowing what to say or do to please one another. Your brothers sit with you in counsel, Each of them as strong as you in domain and realm. You think and ponder over the world you live in, Always sparking a debate. You are loving, kind, But most of all, You are brothers. Family, entwined at the root of all things. Poseidon who makes the Earth shatter and shake, I hope I have built kharis with you by reciting this hymn! May I remember you in another song, too!
