About Me

I am a man passionate about love, sex, abandoned women, mythology, rampaging gods and the metamorphoses of any of the above into random animals or objects, for example, trees, birds and twigs. To put it simply I love a good surrealist ramble, stories that blend into one another and contain a good helping of eroticism. Virgil can fornicate with the state and I shall do the same with the state's women. Unfortunately the head of said state, Augustus, didn't quite see my point of view and banished me in AD 8. Whilst this depressed me for a couple of millenia I have decided to revive myself.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Any beautiful women, sex crazed god or talking trees I may happen to discover.
