Sicilian nymph of the island mountain
that burns with fire more frequently than others,
she burned with desire for a god, was mother
to two deities.
Daughter of a god or a titan, she chose
the god ruler of Sicily from between
Demeter and Hephaistos; the volcano
became his workshop.
Though the crafty smith labors there still making
thunderbolts for the king of gods, the mother
goddess of grain benefits from the rich soil
of the volcano.
