Cloud Weave(r)

WARP AND WEFT, BUT NO DEITY

The Greco-Roman pantheon did not include a god specifically in charge of clouds.  Zeus/Jupiter, as the lord of the sky, comes close, but as he is typically identified with thunder and philandering (hah, nice play on 'thunder and lightning', Sam =^..^= ), to my mind he sports rather too bombastic an image to be associated with the gentle, lovely image below.  It would have been fun if I could have subtitled this post something like, say, "Nefelios' Cloak" or "The Blanket of Nubion".  It would have made a nice set with Apollo's Arrow and Apollo's Arrow, Pt. 2.
