Greek Goddess Lolinolixia

While I know that this isn't exactly poetry, it is for my Greek Mythology class, and I figured I'd put it on here for your enjoyment!


Lolinolixia
or
The Goddess of the Internet
as translated by Michael West III
from the
Lol Tablets






Oh, sweet Muse, tell me, your heaven-bid scribe, upon the great Goddess known as Lolinolixia. Grant me the wisdom of prosperity upon hearing your utterance of the sweet mistress of the Internet.”
- Ancient ritual poem from the Lol cult of Lolinolixia


Lolinolixia, born of Athena and Hermes, is the Goddess of the Internet or also known, by the Lol cult, as the “sweet mistress” of the Internet. Lolinolixia, bearing divinity over cats, the Internet, and online pirating, bears chaotic goodness upon the world. Holding a sigil and emblem of the wondrous Grumpy Cat, Lolinolixia is attended by the Internet nymphs Wikia and Wi-fios, and can be seen riding her powerful steed named Lan.

Lolinolixia's birth is recorded in the Lol Tablets;
Finding the world of post-Cold War peace, the Gods and Goddesses of Olympus decided to get fussed up and primped and proper, and hold a gathering, with Dionysus providing veritable wines from his vineyards and Pan headlining as DJ for the get-together. As the hours of the party continued to float away, the deities found themselves in groups or pairs, conversing and generally getting along. Many found themselves coupling up, trysting off in various corners of Zeus' newest heavenly renovated palace. One such heavenly Olympic couple found themselves with enough of Dionysus' wine in them that habitations and clothes left. Both, waking after a night of Pompeian passion, found themselves at loss of words and holding a basket, within it a bundle of cloth with the Sweet Mistress of the Internet laying within....”

The offspring of Lolinolixia as made known in the Lol Tablets;
“Lolinolixia, seeing the Internet as a yet un-proven and un-tilled soil of beauty, gave birth to a daughter, which she gave the sight of knowledge and the vast reaches of humanity's knowledge. Upon seeing that her creation was a beauty, gave her the name of Google. Her sons Piratebaya and Wikileakxio, sprang up, created by the Sweet Mistress in times of humanity's wickedness.”

A challenge to the young Lolinolixia and the Internet, as read in the Lol Tablets;
As the realm of the Internet was still but young in life, there was a man, a powerful vice-consul of a once-great nation, who was named Algorix. Algorix led a campaign through-out the capital city to gain favor and support in the next assembly vote for consul – as the previous consuls had come of age of retirement and leisured assisted living. Algorix, sensing his powerful allies within the senatorial assembly were finding favor with Algorix' opponents in the consul-vote, as man named Dubbja. Algorix, then decided to thumb his nose towards favor and fate of the Gods upon Olympus and make his own destiny – even if it led to his demise.
Standing below his counterparts, on the assembly floor, Algorix began to regale a tale of creation and wonder – of building a vast and beautiful network, that which being far superior to that of Lolinolixia. All those gathered, upon hearing his heretical speech, fell silent in awe of Algorix' heathendom towards the domain of Lolinolixia.
The Sweet Mistress, upon hearing Algorix' blasphemous heresy, walked upon the Earth as a mere woman-child, barely over the age of first-blood. Standing next to Algorix, the Sweet Mistress bade Algorix to recant his tale, or else be doomed to failure and unending ridicule. Algorix, finding his ego to have inflated over his control, bade no recantation and only merely challenged the woman-child to silence herself. While temporarily blinding the assembly, Lolinolixia came upon Algorix in her true Olympic form, causing Algorix to burn in a Vulcan-powered heat, completely destroying and killing Algorix upon the spot...

The story of a once-great nation and Lolinolixia's favored hero of humanity;
“Finding the human world to be up to no good, Lolinolixia found favor upon the young hero known as Edward Snowden – taking him and sending him upon the perilous journey of disclosing various political and governmental discrepancies created by a once-great nation. With Lolinolixia's guidance and strength, Snowden successfully completed his journey and adventure to open the eyes of the world to how dark and previously-unknown the then-great-nation had become. For his greatness and bravery in the face of innumerable and objectionable enemies and obstacles, Lolinolixia rewarded her favored hero Edward Snowden with the gift of Sanctuary within the country of Putinland, then known as the ancient country of Russia....”

Thus concludes the inscriptions found upon the Lol Tablet, as the rest of the Tablet was damaged with no remaining fragments found, as of late.
