	811. Itylus. Algernon Charles Swinburne. The Oxford Book of English Verse
		Thy heart is light as a leaf of a tree;
		To the place of the slaying of Itylus,
		I pray thee sing not a little space.

	Sound Liberates Meaning in Swinburne's "Itylus"
		Alliteration and the use of words whose sound and form echo and complement one another magically mingle the sweetness of the nightingale's song with its sorrow.
		The title and "the place of the slaying of Itylus" (line 47) refer to a figure in Greek mythology, Itylus, the daughter of Aedon and King Zethus of Thebes.
		The speaker's inability to free herself from the confines of her memories herself and others marks "Itylus," just as the need to free oneself from bonds of convention, religion, or even political oppression marks much of Swinburne's poetry.

	Tears for Itylus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The title, Tears for Itylus, refers to a Greek youth whose mother was tricked into killing him; when she discovered what she had done, her greif was so great that the gods changed her into a nigtingale, which nightly laments for her lost son.
		Itylus, much like Frodo, represents the tragedy of lost youth.
		The roses, of course, symbolize Frodo, the disease being the lingering effects of the ring on Frodo even after it was destroyed.

	Aedon
		Wife of Zethus and mother of a daughter Itylus, whom she slew by mistake, whereupon Zeus transformed her into the nightingale who nightly laments her murdered child -OR- a queen of ancient Thebes who plotted to kill a son of her rival Niobe but killed her own son by mistake.
		Her grief led her to try suicide but she was transformed into the first nightingale by the gods, a bird that still haunts the night with its mournful cry.
