Two Poems Together: Epiphanes and Soteros

Epiphanes is Greek for "God Manifest" and was used by ancient kings like Antiochos IV to boldly state that the king was god himself in the flesh.
Soteros is Greek for "savior" and was used as an epithet by ancient kings usually because they had reacquired lost territory.

These are some of the things I have seen recently that inspired these poems, particularly Epiphanes.
