Although often over-dramatic and one-sided, the poem as a whole attempts to reconstruct without decoration or artifice the story of a bypassed heroine. Delicate Homeric fingers of rosy dawn definitely don't reach up to sooth the reader's discerning aesthetic; instead, Murray evocatively and sympathetically describes a woman's life that was far from beautiful.

...commander of lions. In Egypt she was Sekhmet, portrayed as a lioness whose "mane smoked with fire [and whose] countenance glowed like the sun." Images of goddesses tell us nothing about the role of actual women, but they do suggest that about 3,000 years ago, at the dawn of human civilization, the idea of the fearsome huntress, the woman predator, generated no snickers among the pious...
