Two Poems Together: Epiphanes and Soteros

Epiphanes is Greek for "God Manifest" as used by tyrants like Antiochos IV to suggest that the king himself is god come down in the flesh.

Soteros is Greek for "savior" and was used as an epithet by many ancient kings, usually because they recovered lost land or brought back order after a period of chaos.

These are some of the things I have seen which inspired the two poems above.  These poems build on the ideas expressed in the previous post written on my trip to Las Vegas.
