	thetis
		The idea behind the Thetis initiative was first conceived in 1989, in one of several degree theses supervised by the Faculty of Architecture of Venice University, examining a number of hypotheses for the re-use of the Arsenal.
		The initiative thus gave rise to the Thetis Consortium, which was formed in 1991 by a group of industrial companies and research institutes, which went into business by developing technologies and supplying projects to the marine and coastal sector, while at the same time undertaking the development of the technology centre building project.
		Thetis thus constitutes the central part of a wider re-qualification project, which is important for the future of the city.

	Ovid and H.D.'s "Thetis" (_Hymen_ Version)
		"Thetis" clearly echoes this exquisite configuration: the white cresent-shaped [sic] beach of the "island disc," the myrtle-wood, the descent into water astride the dolphin which undulates beneath its jewelled harness.
		"Thetis" seems somewhat anomalous among the other poems in the volume, like "Simaetha" and "Circe" (the two poems which directly precede and follow it) in that it describes a (divine) woman's sexual self-sufficiency, her radical "virginity" or erotic self-possession.
		H.D.'s Thetis is an image of erotic/bodily wholeness, yet also of metamorphic evasion and of the fatal mystery within a qualified surrender to mortal violence.
