Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

She therefore is great-great-great granddaughter of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king. As a result, she also is the great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Poseidon the sea god. Consequently, she is the great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Gaia, the mother goddess who through her incest with her son Uranus is the ancestor of gods and heroes.
