2/26/19 This is a fantasy poem, a composite of Roman God myths, a Banyan tree (fig tree considered spiritual, symbol of immortality) and an estate called Ca' d'Zan. During the 1920s, circus mogul John Ringling built his dream mansion (Ca' d'Zan, nenamed in this poem Cadazan) on Sarasota Bay in Florida. Roman Gods: Neptune (ruled the seas) and Minerva (ruled crafts) are mentioned as characters in this created myth. Neptune had a penchant for acquiring domains around the earth. Guarding Cadazan was the point of contention. The son in the poem is unnamed.
