Knowledge has become a whore.

I inquire of all the mortal and divine kindred.. who amongst you has the courage to speak this scandalous slur directly to My face without veiling its true or subtly implied content in words wrought of beautiful craftsmanship?

Be not mistaken, Achaea and those whose divine governance falls upon it, that Knowledge can dare be claimed or defined by any other than Me. In My person does Knowledge reside completely.

Beauty may be found in many things depending upon one's perspective and the angle from which one seeks it. There is unspeakable beauty in True Knowledge and in the purity of Enlightenment. There is also a danger in its mistaking, and in those who claim to have found it in a scope of narrowed vision. None other in the pantheon seeks understanding as the true and highest goal, yet there are those that would twist comprehension and perspective to serve their own purposes. Guard you well, mortals, against such perversion of what Knowledge truly is and seek its face not in any in which it is not embodied.

Let this merely serve as clarification rather than accusation. Let My words also stand as warning. Though there is great understanding to be had in all realms, there is only its fullness within My own. I will tolerate no further allusions to the grandeur of True Knowledge which are not properly addressed unto My person in an attitude of open respect, no matter their claimed intent. In such seemingly honourable deceits are innocents led along the paths of ignorance.

I need no instruction in the vagaries of metaphor from any mortal with the arrogance to think they may lecture or deceive a Goddess. There will be no more warnings. Heavy is the onus of My disfavour.
