Perfect Heroes

West Wynd

astride my magic flying horse I rule the sky when they see me coming all the monsters lay down and die I deserve to be on mount Olympus high the name of Belerophon and my legend will never die
when I faced the giant Chimera with it’s fearsome dragon head I used his flaming breath to fill his mouth with molten lead hanging out with Proetus his wife Anteia came onto me but I turned her down with my heroic misogyny ascending mount Olympus on my mythical airborne steed old Zeus done seen me coming and put an end to my vanity
no man alive can withstand my mighty rage I’m invulnerable except one spot on my heel for my victory over Hector in the Trojan war the name of Achilles will be remembered
when being dipped into the river Styx my submersion was incomplete mommy forgot to bathe the place where she held me by my feet being filled with anger at the death of his brother Hector the coward Paris aimed at me as Apollo adjusted the vector news of my death provoked the greatest rap battle in history as Ajax and Odysseus spat rhymes to win my dendra panoply
after defeating the Trojans with my horse I began my 10 year journey homeward filled ith longing for my sweet Penelope even the gods remember brave Odysseus
blinding Poseidon’s cyclops kid did not bring honor to my name keeping me away from home became his favorite game visiting Circe’s island she turned my men to a herd of swine even after she turned them back we stayed a year to enjoy the wine during the course of my travels I found myself in other women’s beds but returning home to find suitors in my house I started lopping off their heads
among the heroes of Greek mythology not a single one can boast perfection please remember if you’re evaluating me what do you expect I’m only human I’d like to see how you compare with Olympian gods would you even pass your own inspection
