My tablet kept insisting that I wanted to type "coming down with Ovid" rather than "coming down with COVID" and, if you know your #Ovid, there's a joke in there somewhere.
The genesis of these piano pieces came from witnessing the mental and physical decline associated with Alzheimer's and reading Ovid's Metamorphoses and seeing a connection with Echo's story.
#Hera letting a young peafowl hop on the hat of a very nervous #Hermes. The peafowl is implied to be the reincarnation of Argos by the caption "immortal Argos".
In #Ovid's Metamorphoses, Hera put the eyes of Argos on the peacock's tail after Hermes killed him.
"'O why must #Juno, goddess of sweet brides, and why should #Hymen also, favour us when man with woman cannot join in wedlock, but both are brides?'
The other maiden flamed with equal love, and often prayed for Hymen to appear."
