Losing My Religion

[Maturins_Daughter]

Highest among women, but jealous of all;

horses and dolphins heed his beck and call.

The sun rises swift while he plays on his lyre;

hammer and tongs, forge and fire.

Spring and Summer, Winter and Fall;

celebrate, have some wine, with this one it’s a ball!

Wise yet warlike, and virginal still;

confrontation and carnage are his will.

The youngest of his siblings, he rules o’er all he surveys;

under the moon, with bow and arrow she plays.

Love and desire, apple and bee;

he might just have a message for me.

ahhh...nice! :)

Well it lasted more than a day... but no attempts to solve? Now I'm sad :(

IDK if I'm overthinking it, but I don't think it's as simple as you thought it was gonna be, lol. I was thinking of all the greek and norse and roman mythology and I can't think of one purpose who has traits of both sexes that can personify the answer....

[Maturins_Daughter]

Perhaps the problem lies in trying to fit all attributes into one persona.

[John Blaze]

Well I doubt it's the Seven.... hmmm......

Wait, is it the Seven? The Faith of the Seven?

[Maturins_Daughter]

Since I have no clue what the Faith of the Seven is...nope :)

[thegunslinger41]

My gut instinct tell me Michael Stipe (who also is one of my personal heroes)...

Hmm....Ok...not gonna over think it, actually going to just make an un-educated guess....David from the Bible??? Or maybe Christian Grey??

[Maturins_Daughter]

That is incorrect.

Well it lasted more than a day... but no attempts to solve? Now I'm sad :(I've only seen it now!! and it's past midnight, I'll think tomorrow! :rose: :rose: :rose:

Good job Jean, I think you're right.

[Maturins_Daughter]

You are spot-on, Jean! Whew - I worked for ages on that and was hoping it wouldn't get lost in the dust :)

The only difference being when I created it, I was focusing on the Greek names, but your mix with the Roman names works, too

I was first thinking about the Greek names too, but it would have taken me ages to spell them in English!
