The Myrmidons were a legendary people of Greek mythology, native to the region of Thessaly. An etiological myth of the Myrmidons was

first mentioned by Ovid, in Metamorphoses. In Ovid's telling, a terrible plague wipes out the population of the island Aegina.Hera is

responsible for the devastating plague, jealous that her husband Zeus named the island after his lover, the nymph Aegina. King Aeacus of Aegina prays to Zeus to repopulate the island, and

Zeus responds with a flash of lightning, which Aeacus understands to be an affirmation from the gods. Aeacus then sees a colony of ants

covering a tree, so he asks for as many people as there are ants. Overnight, Aeacus has a dream that these ants fall to the ground and are transformed into people. When he wakes the next morning, he finds that his island has been repopulated and that his prayers have been answered. He names the people Myrmidons after the Greek

word myrmex for ants.Q-who was their commander?

My mistress’ eyes are ;Coral is far more red than her lips’ red:

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I knowThat music hath a far more pleasing sound:

I grant I never saw a goddess go,My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rareAs any she belied with false compare.

Sonnet 130 of William Shakespeare mocks the conventions of the showy and flowery courtly sonnets in its realistic portrayal of his mistress.

Lucrezia Borgia was the daughter of Pope Alexander VI and Vannozza dei Cattanei, described

as having heavy blonde hair that fell past her knees, a beautiful complexion, hazel eyes that

changed color, a full, high bosom, and a natural grace that made her appear to "walk on air" One

night during a trip, Lucrezia Borgia stayed at an inn in a small town and during the night the host

became so captivated by Lucrezia's beauty that he could not resist the urge to peek into her room

through the keyhole. The bedroom was lit by only a few candles, and so he could barely see

her navel. This pure and innocent vision was enough to send him into an ecstasy that inspired

him to create the X that night.
