Have been scurrying round various translators and bedammned if I can tell why you wrote *Ia* Saturnalia instead of the more usual Io, Saturnalia. Putting a feminine ending on an interjection, are you trying to tell us something?
Besides meeting his scheduled end in a few score more billion years, the mortal Helios has an excruciatingly boring job. I shall take my three score, ten, and out and not envy him in the least, poor fellow. I prefer to take my chances with putative promises of the desert God (and the music of Otis Day & the Knights), but admittedly, that's just me.
Once again this year, I skipped observing the Saturnalia, as I find the ritual orgy not only unesthetic, but unsanitary.
ReplyDeleteTo those who did their civic duty, I do hope you observed the proper (albeit insufficient) precautions.

(I actually prefer "bona Saturnalia" myself.)
