Heavenly Hell asks: << All this talk about Amelia and Icarus has got me wondering how many contemporary artists have written about or referred to Greek (or Roman) mythology in a song? >>
Well, Hell, just off the top of my head I can think of quite a few Greek references in Joni's songs: Hera and the Kingpin Let the Wind Carry Hermes The Last Time I Saw Pegasus The Crazy Cries of Prometheus Taming the Mortals Heracles Louise The Silky Veils of Artemis Don't Interupt the Cyclops The Hissing of Medusa's Hair Shades of Hades Conquering Telemachus's Dad's Battle Axe That Song about the Minotaur Zeus Must Be a Boogie Man Goodbye Winged Hat Little Greek Hope this helps! --Bob
