I am not ashamed. I ask Hemera for some light, her daughter Nyx for dark at night. I convince Zeus to do me right. I'm on my knees all the time. And, yes, I frequent Hypnos and make eyes at his brother while my feet take me to Lethe and I beg for my oblivion  and drink and drink and drink. But I am not ashamed.
