Himmelszelt (Canopy of Heaven) - 2. Constellation Leo

How marvelous you recount the myth this way. I shall look for stars differently now. 

I love Greek mythology. My mum used to tell me stories from it before bed when I was a kid. This poem does the myth justice. Also, that video made me laugh. Thank you.

I like this a lot.  Hercules may have slain the beast, but not the reason for its existence.  Well done.    

You suffered with me through this, lol.

I love Greek mythology too. While I wrote this I read so many interesting facts I had trouble to focus on the lion's story. Thank you for the comment, Thorn

Thank you, Parker! This is one of my poems with an accent. It led to some interesting conversations with my nephew, the result is Foray. 

Love the rhymes, Love retold myths, they always add something to surprise. Having just read "Voli me Tangere" this is a brilliant addition to the theme. Thanks.
