What's in a name

[donnaimmaculata]

I've been browsing Greek mythology on the search for neat, meaningful names that can be used in fics. This one amused me exceedingly:

Alectryon: A Greek youth who Ares posted as a guardian by the door when he visited Aphrodite. Alectryon fell asleep during the night so that their lovemaking was discovered by Helios. As punishment, the boy was turned into a cock*.

*is twelve years old*

*"which since then never stops to announce the arrival of the sun", but we can disregard that.

Don't need to disregard it, it's a Morning Glory!

Now I picture the cock jumping at me. Thank you for this mental image.

*giggle* Would that be a free-standing cock or one attached to a specific person...

I sorta picture it as free-standing, looking rather lost and confused.
