THALESTRIS, AMAZON QUEEN ~ LOVER TO ALEXANDER THE GREAT!

I dreamed of the ancient blue Aegean;

Its waters deeply furious and flashing destruction.

My eyes stretched the width of history only

To find you on the opposite shore…waiting!

My desire emptied its depths to open a path,

Once extinct, now revealed by a greedy longing

Only to find your reciprocity was not forthcoming.

The waves froze in abeyance, my estate unvested;

For by invitation only is my title of “true love” bestowed.

Dreams are for those who have not tasted the spoils

Of victory after a hard campaign, they do not understand

That we are numbered among the children of Ares!

Refuse the Scythian princess she is not worthy;

I offer a far better liaison to ensure a noble pedigree.

^^^^^

Hale O King!  I come to honor you with my bravest 300!

I am Thalestris, Amazon Queen of Themiskrya, here

To propose a bold proposition of procreation and fame.

Rest your army for thirteen days and I shall love

You in the nights, under the stars and the moon’s glow!

Shall we spawn greatness between us, you and I?

Unite our armies and breed royal seed to royal seed

Great Alexander, famed King of all the Greeks?

The auguries are not needed to give consent!

Together, let us master the art of the hunt and the kill!

Teach me battle secrets, strategies, the art of winning wars!

We’ll exchange stories of our auspicious victories!

But as each day slips under its blanket of dusk

When the campfires spark and spit flying embers;

We shall be in each other’s arms, entwined

Within passionate embraces our bodies atremble.

My depth shall sheathe the strength of Alexander;

Our ardor will rise to vehement flame as we make

History in my womb, the beginning of a lineage

Of sovereign majesty and potent power!

We shall rule the world and beyond it! 

What we bear between us ~ your child and mine,

Great King will rule when we are dust and ash!

^^^^^

Our future has rooted this night my Love!

The sibyls chant in celebration for the prophecy is true!

I am with child, a daughter, a Queen, my lover!

Now, I leave you to your conquering in Parthia!

I shall return with my embedded prize to Caucasia,

My kingdom, my home, the land of the leopard!

I adjure you to listen to the winds and watch

For you will know the time as the stories

Of an Amazon Warrior, who spins the world

Upside down will be heard throughout the lands

Of Asia to the furthest seas and beyond their bounds.

Yes, our progeny shall boldly rule and conquer!

Our legacy…will be greater than you or I!
