It doesn't preclude him being a jerk. I like the poem and picture very much. Must have been quite along wait for your order...

Theseus would dream of the spiders. There's a mystery to the story, which adds intrigue to the poem. Nice work. You reveal more of your talents here-drawings on dinner napkins!

The poem says nothing about "her" and leaves the art to do its own telling. "Sure feet of spiders" is arresting. I love the story telling, on all levels.

Great drawing, and I love that it was done on a napkin; those eyes are hypnotic and the poetry's wonderful.....chilling but wonderful. I've always been of the Theseus as jerk school too. Fantastic.
