Libitina, the Roman Goddess of
Corpses,
Wishes to announce that, a
misprint,
Has made her the Goddess of
Corners.
She finds this rather a relief.
For some time, as Titus Livius
notes
In his great History of Rome,
She’s been restive; corpses have
complained
That their prayers are frequently
lost
Or answered inappropriately.
Sacrifices to her may be offered
as usual
At her temples. Her priests will
still
Sell funeral supplies and pinatas.
She is open to suggestions as to
what
A Goddess of Corners should
actually do.
