Certainty: 2 A poem for the "Gardens of Adonis", a celebration of Eirene the sebastokratorissa & her family
The ancient Gardens of Adonis was a family festival for females. On this occasion, it seems to have been celebrated by Eirene the sebastokratorissa Eirene and her daughters and daughters-in-law, on the occasion of a home visit by the family's males. Theodora is absent in Austria. The family members are enumerated as trees and then as birds; some identifications are easy, but others more difficult, as there seem to be more trees and birds than family members. Grief for the lost Theodora is a dominant emotion
