You dont know who does or doesnt speek Greek, Zeus. Look at my sig. That's
greek, in case you didn't know. I think Gaia is spelled either
 ___ 
|     /\    |    /\
|    /  \   |   /  \
|   /----\  |  /----\
|  /      \ | /      \

or
 ___         ___ 
|     /\    |       /\
|    /  \   |___   /  \
|   /----\  |     /----\
|  /      \ |___ /      \

The greek alphabet is very similar to ours, so dont try to confuse
yourself. the letter gamma ("hangman" symbol) is supposed to ge
preonounced like a rough "y" not like a g or j like stupid people use when
they say "jyro sandwitch".
                 _                 _
psi is really "pse" instead of "psi" and is the letter

 \  |  /
  | | |
 /  |  \ 
|   |   |
 \__|__/
    |
    |
    |
                     
which may stand for psyche which means spirit

 \  |  /  |     | \      / |     |
  | | |   |     |  \    /  |     |
 /  |  \  |     |   \  /   |     |

 \__|__/  |     |    /\    |     | 
    |     |     |   /  \   |     | 
    |     |     |  /    \  |     | 
    |     |     | /      \ |     |

And I think Zeus is spelled

No. actually this goes back to HEBREW and arabic beliefs.... star of
suleiman... etc...

That is a nice picture. Did you get this from Jeff Easley's painting of a
red dragon? (it really looks like you tried to copy Jeff's work) I think
Jeff is probably the best artist TSR ever had...
