Sebastopol
Theseus? Not so, Artemis Tauric wouldnt have it,
A replica Temple in Thesian style,
Nor the Russians who bombarded it
Least the British, Turks, French,
Enjoy it.
Too, the Germans and Romanians
Scuttled away under such:
Such Iphiginian rites
More than a scratch and a drop of blood.

Notes: oh, in copy pasting, I lost the first version of this...such is the hazard of computer writing...I cast about online for a wordprocessing dedicated handheld computer, like my samsung's tablet memo pad, but more, like full on microsoft office...composing on the note pad began with my iphone's...thought is to just use old disconnected cell phones' memos...I one finger type on the on screen keyboard...that has a slow pace, a fit with composing...anyway, problem is getting things into the formats...the samsung tablet's weird...today, I thought to just go online and use google's blogger-dedicate a new blog to drafting...from there to microsoft word with the lap top...but, but I'd rather not have to be online...the storage on the samsung fills up from browsing, maybe a virus, some glich...but it's really great for using "share" while online to note links and quotes, unless the storage is full, then I'm stuck...an aside...how did it go...Theseus? Not so, a replica Temple in the style of Theseus..........Artemis Tauric....not so for the Russians too who bombarded it too, least the British, Turks, French, enjoy it. The Germans and Romanians scuttled away under such. Such Iphiginian rites more than a scratch and a drop of blood....got some of it back...

Well, that one's not the lost first one either...it wasnt the sense or conceit lost, just some tear duct rending sound to the words...hmmph...a Light Brigade trumpeter repeated his challenge for the new recording machines, and before finding that, I came to dwell on the tale on seeing youtube thumbnail, "first war photographs"-from there to Crimean War parts 1,2,3,...in the old pics was the Temple...curious to know if it was original, I close studied, discovered Euripedes' tale of Iphigena, his take...old Greeks took liberties with their tales!...and so found myself in contemplation of the Black Sea...I thought the Valley of Death was somewhere over by the Khyber Pass...not so!
edit: I keep changing it...question mark after Theseus...And not so the Russians...this is even more of a linking tale than I thought!...at Artemis' shrine was a fetish, a relic (such shrines today are wannabe art museums!), this in the first Greek town on the Crimean peninsula long before Sebastopol, a fallen meteor maybe, and Iphegena and Orestes stole it and ended up at Lake Nemi in Italy, and there the famous legend of the Oak King taken up by James Frazer in the Golden Bough, where there then another shrine made to Artemis...the Golden Fleece was lifted from the east shore of the Black Sea, Jason and the Argonauts tale...Iphigena, Agememnon's daughter, as a youth, was to be sacrificed so winds would come and take the Greeks to the war with the Trojans, and indeed in that tale, she was, which brought grief to King Agememnon on his return-Iphegina's death revenged with his murder by his wife, or some such...my myth lore is undisciplined, as all!...but Euripedes told the tale that Artemis saved Iphegina, replaced her with a sacrficial deer, and Iphegina became the priestess of Artemis Tauric, Artemis in Crimea...the Romans copied the Greeks, but thought themselves descended from the Trojans, a kind of fit...Theseus was a fug head, never to be forgiven for abandoning Ariadne...see my Black Deck Tales!...lol...the Renaissance painters knew all these old stories, mixed them together with the Bibles', and the lore preserved by the patronage of the elites...modern art tries to sweep it all away, making fetishes for the modern gallery/museum shrines, making themselves into reliquaries to be worshipped by the auction houses, or some such...the old myths show through...the Russians booted the Ukranians too from Sebastopol!
