0 plainglazed Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 posies? I'm working on the possibility of the "heavenly king" being Cepheus and doxy meaning mistress (even though Cassiopeia was his wife) not that DD, but you're on the right track OutSTANding? Title? Mark? not those Wilson, wish now I had said more re the structure but too late now w/o giving it away but will say that "my name" is not a proper noun.

0 Guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 is the 2nd couplet "Ion"? He was the illegitimate child of Apollo and Creusa and that would make the final answer "stationary" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DudleyDude Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 is the 2nd couplet "Ion"? He was the illegitimate child of Apollo and Creusa and that would make the final answer "stationary" Based on WW's excellent perception Io, a mistress of Zeus Which fits slightly better in WW's final answer which is surely correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plainglazed Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) With urgent speed of great import While other care is strictly for sport - stat - by DudleyDude - as in tv emergency room (urgent care) talk "push 50cc's epi, stat" and as in common sports concern Conversation requires, two to be used The heavenly king's doxy, internally abused - io - by Wallenius Wilhelmsen w/ clarification from DudleyDude- referring to vowels (or I guess letters) as a language requirement and needing two of those and Io, the closest moon of Jupiter which is the most geologically active body in the solar system due to Jupiter's massive varying gravitational pull (or Io, Zeus's mistress who was harassed by a maddening gadfly per Hera's instruction). This cannot add up, lest there is one On fairly even ground that once was called none - nary - by DudleyDude - meaning zero and On fairly even (letters) and nary being a somewhat antiquated word Then afterall that's been learned I still remain The answer now known, please tell me my name. - STATIONARY - by Wallenius Wilhelmsen - combining all the above "that's been learned" and "still remain" as a pun/clue (Title meant as a punny homophone of a homophone) Edited December 12, 2009 by plainglazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
