"Shepherds camping in the fields, wretched things of shame, mere bellies, we Muses know how to say many deceptive things looking like genuine things, but we also know how, whenever we wish it, to proclaim things that are true." (Th. 26-28)

They sing how much he is the most important of the gods and the greatest in power. Then again, they sing of the genos of men and of the strong Giants, thus pleasing the noos of Zeus, who abides in Olympus.
Hesiod, Th. 49-50

I nominate the Toucan mask for Plaguey D. That way he can serve as a walking Public Health Advisory bulletin: "sanitize, or you too can die"

That is all I could offer. I tried to commandeer a loaf of Triticum spelta, but was unsure if it would be glutton free.

a matter of reverence, starting from the beginning, telling about who were generated from Earth [Gaia] and the vast Sky [Ouranos], and what gods, givers of good things, were born from them. Next, they sing of Zeus, father of gods and men, both when they begin and when they end their song.
(Th.44-48)

Glad is the palace of father Zeus the loud-thunderer over the delicate voice of the Muses which reaches far and wide. It echoes against the peaks of snowy Olympus and the abodes of the immortals. And they send forth an immortal voice as they give kleos first to the genos of the gods
Hes., Th.40-44

They tell of things that are, that will be, and that were before, having their words fitted together as they sound forth. And their voice pours forth without ever being worn down, coming sweetly from their mouths.
(Hesiod, Th.36-39)

"tell of things that are, that will be, and that were before": Hesiod Ergo, Zeus Theos, and Mnemsoyne Genos

some nasty people on here might blame this catalogue of woes on the narrator getting too close for comfort more often than is recommended to bottles of meant-to-be-gifted Baileys. But we're not so we won't
