| | Thetis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The wedding of Thetis and Peleus was celebrated on Mount Pelion and attended by all the deities: there the gods celebrated the marriage with feasting. | | | In one fragmentary hymn by the 7th century BC Spartan poet Alcman, Thetis appears as a demiurge, beginning her creation with poros (πόρος) "path, track" and tekmor (τέκμωρ) "marker, end-post". | | | Prophecy said that the son of Thetis would have either a long but dull life or a glorious but brief life. |

| | Achilles, Greek Mythology Link. |
| | So Thetis, seeing that it was fated that Achilles should perish in the war, and still looking for a way out, disguised him as a female and entrusted him to king Lycomedes 1 of Scyros, the same man who is believed to have treacherously murdered his guest, the exiled King Theseus of Athens. | | | On hearing this, Thetis promised to fetch a new armour from Hephaestus for him, since the first one had been taken by Hector 1 when he killed Patroclus 1, who wore it. | | | But others affirm that she, without the knowledge of the child's father, used to put the babe in the fire by night in order to destroy the mortal element which Achilles had inherited from Peleus, while anointing him with ambrosia during the day. |

| | Ovid and H.D.'s "Thetis" (_Hymen_ Version) |
| | "Thetis" seems somewhat anomalous among the other poems in the volume, like "Simaetha" and "Circe" (the two poems which directly precede and follow it) in that it describes a (divine) woman's sexual self-sufficiency, her radical "virginity" or erotic self-possession. | | | H.D.'s Thetis is an image of erotic/bodily wholeness, yet also of metamorphic evasion and of the fatal mystery within a qualified surrender to mortal violence. | | | It is an old story, especially relished by classical writers, and still employed in rationalizations of rape: such virginal self-sufficiency, such possession of a sacred territory apart from the cycle of generation, necessarily calls forth violation. |
