Myths of Equality

Antagonize Antigone
Dichotomize virginity
Capitalize on vanity
Incentivize mediocrity


Aristotle’s arguments
Bring up fits of discontent
She deconstructs redundant discourse
To synthesize some clarity


The vanity of Oedipus
Seems to her sort of prejudiced
Maybe men are noble martyrs
Hysteria for femininity


Socrates’ sloppy method
Led teenage boys to prove manhood
Antigone is unsurprised
But Oedipus cuts out his eyes.

Adventurer Odysseus
Is accompanied by a full chorus
Penelope sits all alone
Waiting in solidarity

Canonized Academics
A fancy way to name the dicks
Who reward the men of stories
And what of sweet Antigone?
