00:00:01.490 --> 00:00:04.850 align:middle line:84%
See, I remember we were
talking about Pegasus.

00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:08.230 align:middle line:90%
So Pegasus has a sibling.

00:00:08.230 --> 00:00:08.730 align:middle line:90%
Sure.

00:00:08.730 --> 00:00:09.360 align:middle line:90%
Why not?

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.310 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHS] I think it's wild.

00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:13.440 align:middle line:90%
So in the sibling is either--

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:14.790 align:middle line:90%
so then there's also that part.

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
The sibling is either
a winged boar, sure,

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.965 align:middle line:90%
or a golden giant man.

00:00:22.965 --> 00:00:25.335 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHS]

00:00:25.335 --> 00:00:27.210 align:middle line:84%
I'm just like, those
things are not the same.

00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:90%
How do you get?

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.630 align:middle line:90%
They're not even close.

00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:34.140 align:middle line:84%
So if it's the golden
giant man, then he

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:37.890 align:middle line:84%
becomes the father
of Geryon who tends

00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:43.950 align:middle line:84%
the red cattle that heroically
steals as one of his 12 labors.

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:48.650 align:middle line:84%
Portrait of My Father
as a Winged Boar.

00:00:48.650 --> 00:00:52.370 align:middle line:84%
"When his mother dies by
metal turns slicing blade,

00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:54.870 align:middle line:84%
from her blood
springs my father,

00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:59.300 align:middle line:84%
whose name I refuse to say as
he refuses his father, the half

00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:01.280 align:middle line:90%
known man who sired him.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.610 align:middle line:84%
In the dry LA light,
the boy, my father

00:01:04.610 --> 00:01:09.950 align:middle line:84%
turns so that he is caught, one
way, a winged boar, another,

00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.620 align:middle line:90%
a giant, a gold blade of a man.

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:17.720 align:middle line:84%
Both high scold, thick maned,
a juvenile without a sounder,

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:19.790 align:middle line:90%
a boy without a mother.

00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:23.240 align:middle line:84%
He recognizes himself only
in the man, carves himself

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.490 align:middle line:84%
into golden armor,
but the rutting effect

00:01:25.490 --> 00:01:28.850 align:middle line:84%
of him, the curved tooth, the
thick neck, and beating wings

00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:31.040 align:middle line:90%
trembles beneath his skin.

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.430 align:middle line:84%
Whatever sheen the California
sun burnishes out of his body,

00:01:34.430 --> 00:01:37.310 align:middle line:84%
whatever good work his
thickening hand compels,

00:01:37.310 --> 00:01:40.580 align:middle line:84%
whatever woman he touches in
the afternoon on the roof,

00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:44.600 align:middle line:84%
he cannot deny his
firstborn, his red fledgling,

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:48.260 align:middle line:84%
her many heads and hands
what he makes for her.

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:51.590 align:middle line:84%
A junk bike she
loves, cattle read

00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:56.500 align:middle line:84%
in the field, a mirror, a
red wreckage of her body."
