Jocasta bore Oedipus and married this son.
Ker is the black winged, vengeful spirit.
Leto gave birth to twins let’s hear it!
Muses give artists and scientists bright notions.
Narcissus gave his reflection loving devotion.
To the Oracles travel to find life’s meaning.
Posiedon is next, he’s the sea’s great being.
Queen Hera, Zeus’s lover, has much scorn.
Rhea’s a titan of agriculture like corn.
Scylla a sea monster with Charybdis pair make.
The Titans, six powers, Zeus’s beating did take.
