Cadmus teeth - FS&SB

Sowing discord: In Greek mythology Cadmus, the bringer of civilisation, slew the dragon that guarded the sacred spring of the war god, Ares. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, bade Cadmus sow the dragon's teeth and up sprang the spartoi - an army of ferocious warriors. Painting by Maxfield Parrish




Chris Trotter @ Bowalley Road has, not only this marvelous Maxfield Parrish painting of Cadmus sowing discord, but a very good description of the state of affairs around the Foreshore & Sea Bed issue (re-named Takutai Moana - Marine & Coastal Area Bill).
He also has written, here, a very sobering description of the situation in Canterbury.
