Cheap wax was his fatal flaw, or maybe thinking he could fly like the gods. Who knows.

Puzzles from homophonic gods:

Escape in Alaska
False picture of heaven for a greek
Vague reference to making something disappear in a solvent

(each has a two word answer)

LeDude,
Perhaps you could reverse your fate and learn from your mistakes?

Lap,
Thought you were going at the Juno angle with Alaska. Tricky stuff.

NB --

I wondered after the fact if it should have been a Siberian escape instead of Alaskan. I think it was ok. I was just trying to pack the box with allusion homonyms -- there are a gracious plenty to chose among. Litterary references are great and seen too infrequently here. I've tried offering Vonnegut and Edward Abbey in the past with a very sharply delimited success. R1C is a Hemingway fan. Didn't see a Juno angle...

ps: It's funny, it never occured to me that Lord Byron had a Christian name. Thanks.

Why am I not surprised.. the renegade is eclipsed by the bandwagon. Liberal becomes conservative.. radical becomes passe..

Enjoy the spotlight my friends..
