The new generation of the chthonic family is wild—think about the goddess of gout, who is stepping on everyone’s feet as she goes.
Priam, though Doughty called, had gouty feet
Achilles, Peleus' son, did die of gout
Bellerophon Gout's trials had to face,
And gouty too was Thebes' king Oedipus,
And Plisthenes, from Pelops sprung, had gout
And gouty general too was Poeas' son
Another Doughty-Footed one Thessalians led.
Who, when Protesilaus had been killed,
Though gouty and in pain, did lead his host.
The king of Ithaca, Laertes' son.
Was slain by me and not by spine of fish.
(Lucian, Gout, 250-262)
O hateful name, abhorred by all the gods,
O Gout, most rich in woes, Cocytus' child,
Whom in dark hidden depths of Tartarus
Fury Megaera from her womb brought forth
And fed thee at her breast, thou cruel babe,
To whom Allecto too did offer suck.
(Lucian, Gout, 1-6)
Then did mighty Gout appear.
After Clotho brought thee from her womb
And the Fate had washed her child,
Joy was seen o'er heaven's shining face,
Thunder pealed from cloudless sky.
And rich Pluto from his ample store
Gave thee milky breasts to suck.
(105-111)
Mighty Maid with heart of steel.
Goddess dreadful in thy wrath,
Hear the cries of thine own priests.
Prosperous Gout, how great thy power !
Dread art thou to Jove's swift shaft, 195
Fearsome thou to Ocean's waves
And to Hades king below
(191-197)
I really hate translating things I have into English bc like
I have köszvény (in hungarian)
But in English it's apperantly called gout or podagra?? But gout is a form of arthritis. In English, I've been saying I have arthritis, do I?? I mean it's literally called inflammatory arthritis.
#podagra - geplagter mutmasslicher #pegida - Anhänger in einem Kleingarten von Braunschweig: den rechten Arm Winkel das Kerlchen noch "korrekt" ab, aber die Finger der Hand kann er wegen des "#zipperlein s nicht mehr Strecken.
