Theias

In Greek mythology, Theias (Greek: Θείας) was the King of Assyria and father of Myrrha and Adonis. The birth of Adonis existed in two different versions:

  • The most commonly accepted version is that Aphrodite urged Myrrha or Smyrna to commit incest with her father, Theias. Myrrha's nurse helped with the scheme. When Theias discovered this, he flew into a rage, chasing his daughter with a knife. The gods turned her into a myrrh tree and Adonis eventually sprung from his tree.
  • It was also said that Myrrha fled from her father and Aphrodite turned her into a tree. Adonis was then born when Theias shot an arrow into the tree or when a boar used its tusks to tear the tree's bark off.

    Crashing High

    by: The 69 Eyes

    You've got everything you need
    still ready for open up and bleed
    reading all the magazines
    reading all the books
    about the real diamond rings
    and dirty looks
    if you wanna fire baby
    that's what you will
    don't say I didn't warn you
    love could kill
    So why
    you wanna fall in love
    crashing high
    you wanna fall in love
    You've got everything you ever need
    New York City, Paris if you please
    it's not about the fortune
    not about the fame
    once you're flying higher
    everything's the same
    but you wanna fire
    that's what you will
    don't say I didn't warn you
    love can kill
    So why.......
