Editing Tyro (section)

== In popular culture==
[[Ezra Pound]] refers to Tyro in ''[[The Cantos]]''. In Canto 2 he takes up her rape by Poseidon:<blockquote>"And by the beach-run, Tyro,<br>Twisted arms of the sea-god,<br>Lithe sinews of water, gripping her, cross-hold,<br>And the blue-gray glass of the wave tents them,<br>Glare azure of water, cold-welter, close cover."</blockquote>In a later Canto (74) Pound connects her to [[Alcmene]], imprisoned in the world of the dead, but in a later paradisal vision he sees her "ascending":<blockquote>thick smoke, purple, rising<br>bright flame now on the altar<br>the crystal funnel of air<br>out of Erebus, the delivered,<br>Tyro, Alcmene, free now, ascending<br>[...] no shades more (Canto 90)<ref>Pound, Ezra.
