notes
The poem is titled “soft terror” to accent the early origin of this goddess in the mythologem of the mountain mother, Artemis. The Mother of Mountains is perhaps the earliest aspect of the Cretan goddess. Given this context makes her “unusual” pet one that possesses the demon-like features of the gorgon.
