| Paratext Text | (Parthenope a tugadh ar dtús ar Naples agus ina dhiadh sin Neapolis - Cathair Nua.) |
| Notes | This poem describes various aspects of Napoli's history (Naples, Italy) - including the 'Four Days of Napoli', an uprising against German occupiers in 1943; a serious earthquake in 1980 that killed over 2,000 people; and economic inequality in Naples itself. There is a strong hint of state oppression in the description of the treatment of the poor. Diana, goddess of the moon and the hunt is alluded to in the poem. |
