The Cooley, James Ewing 1802-1882 creator text utu 2011 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Spawn of Ixion; Or, The 'Biter Bit.' An Allegory" by James Ewing Cooley is a satirical allegory written in the mid-19th century. The book explores themes of moral degradation and the consequences of base actions through a poetic lens. It employs mythological references, particularly to Ixion, who was punished for his unforgivable deeds, to comment on human folly and the legacy of vice. The narrative serves to depict the character of Park, a metaphorical offspring of Ixion, who embodies the basest traits of humanity, spreading slander and vile poetry that corrupts all who encounter it. As the tale unfolds, various figures, including Neptune and Jupiter, express their horror at Park's loathsome rhymes, which are so repugnant that they threaten not only the sanity of listeners but also the very fabric of society. Ultimately, the book culminates in a call for divine retribution against this character, underscoring the devastating impact of immorality and the necessity of returning to virtuous principles.
