Babylon Meds – Cup of Me. I channel queen Medea of Babylon in an out of this world poem.

The cup of Porneia.

This comes inspired by Ammon Hillman and his Lady Babylon.

According to Ammon, there was porneia (something very sexual, obvious root to the word porn) in the cup. Watch him, he’s the expert.

More historical: According to Hillman, a PhD in Ancient Greek, specifically medical terms, Medea had the first hospital and the word Medicine comes from her name.

Her medicines were drugs also. It is said that she burnt cannabis and that was the famous vapor baths.

Some of these practices were insane and I am not in any way suggesting they were good or proper, I am just creating poetry. In fact, many of these ancient peoples were being drugged without their intention to engage (I think) and also, those times were wild. I will not judge them now, I will write poems, though.
