[quote=orpheus]I have gone over this poem over and over and the image of Pasiphae allowing herself to be tempted into having bestial sex with a bull is a little off the wall. I have a theory that the myth is mostly about Zeus, or what Pasipahe believed to be Zeus, or may even perhaps a young headstrong man, a bull-headed chap. The allusions are not uncommon in classical Greek mythology and legend.

Failing this, the image of a stupid bird and a fading sun may suggest an insinuation of which we are all probably all too familiar.
Do people really love, or are they easily conned, bought or just vainly superficial?

Any thoughts?[/quote]
