Star Wars as Greek Mythology // Cassian Andor // Perseus, he who was set adrift, a warrior youth favored by the gods, empire slayer, slayer of Medusa

“Tell me, O’ Muse, did I have a choice?
A voice?
Other than a child’s wail
when my right to life,
my right to decide,
was cast to hell?

Serpent crowned majesty,
is it deliverance I seek?
Dare I gaze into the eyes
of she whose tragedy
mirrors me?

I accept it is the fate of men to die,
yet I pray to the gods
when it is my time, let me stand
on soft ground
with the name of a star
in my mouth.”

–L.E.S
