Helios’ Son

 

 

Helios’ sons were Titans by birth

One endowed with scientific worth

In his brothers’ hearts jealousy burned

Because of scientific things he’d learned

 

 

Lifted to an exalted position

Helios’ son would feel haughty sedition

His scientific mind over shadowed all

Carried so high, soon he will fall

  

  

Carried by servants this Titan fair

Son of the Sun god, sure to be Helios’ heir

Set apart from his brothers, with a mind so keen

Spurred hatred by the others, making them mean

 

Four plotted together to take Tenages’ life

They would kill him, but not with a knife

With bare hands they beat him to death

Brothers watched Tenages draw his last breath

 

Death came to Tenages, by his brothers hands

All scattered after the deed to foreign lands

Tenages now lays cold in his grave

Because of the knowledge his brothers craved

 

Jealousy led to murder scattering a brood

Angry brothers’ actions were crude

Even the sun god did not know

Just how far his sons would go
