  3. Thank you both very much. It has spurred me on to go through my poems and decide whether I have enough to get an anthology published. I certainly have a few of this 'mythological type' floating around now. Who will be next? Hermes has been 'waiting in the wings' for a little while...but they always tie into life events/personal emotions for me, and I do love that play with our collective archetypes. It's powerful, transformative. :-)
