  michael just saw this today. i think 7 'gods rod' can either power or wrath. i'd go with power because i think the poet would have said wrath if they meant that and power fits better. Conventions should lead to expectations. If a story always begins with 'once upon a time you will expect it to be a fairy tale. google told me 6b [Pinsky]is right. i've never heard that idea before. looks like you've got a really interesting course there. good luck.
