The osprey ( fish eagle ) has it's own exclusive branch in the eagle family, the Pandionidae. In 18th century, the osprey was described by Carolus Linnaeus in its work, "Systema Naturae", and named the osprey as Falco haliaeetus. The genus Pandion was described by the French zoologist Marie Jules César Savigny in 1809.

That fate rules is the what the fourth ode means in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the fourth ode describes the adventures of highly born mortals with fate. In two of three examples, Lycurgus and the brothers Pandion and Plexippus respectively end up dead or mutilated by the mysterious workings of fate. It is only Danaë, the mother of the hero Perseus and the founder of the ancient Roman town of Ardea, who survives isolation and murderous attempts by her father, Argive King Acrisios.

An osprey(Pandion haliaetus) is capable of reaching speeds of about 30-40 miles an hour while flying. They are primarily fish hunters and will often dive straight down toward their prey in the water, reaching speeds of nearly 80 mph! Right before they hit the water they pull up slightly, plunging in talons first, so they can capture the unlucky fish that ventured a bit too closely to the water's surface.

That her fate is shared by other highly born individualsis the comfort that the chorus offers Antigone in the fourth scene of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the chorus characterizes fate as moving in mysterious but relentless ways. The members mention the blinding of Thracian brother Princes Plexippus and Pandion by their stepmother Queen Idaea and the eating alive of Edonian King Lycurgus under Bacchus the wine god's vindictive influences. They also reference Argive Princess Danaë, who survives her father King Acrisios' abuse, gives birth to the hero Perseus and founds the Roman provincial town of Ardea.

King Aegeus, also known as Aegeus or Egeus, was a mythical king of Athens in Ancient Greece. He was the son of Pandion, the King of Athens, and Pylia, the daughter of King Catreus of Crete.Aegeus was a wise and fair leader of Athens, and is known for the many stories and legends that surround him. He was said to have taken part in the Trojan War, where he and his shipmates were saved by the goddess Athena. He is also credited with the founding of the Panathenaic Games, an event held to honor the goddess Athena.Aegeus is perhaps most famous for his role in the myth of Theseus, his son. He had promised to marry his son off to the princess of Athens, if Theseus were to survive the journey to the Island of Crete, where he was to slay the Minotaur. However, when Theseus returned, Aegeus had forgotten his promise, and instead threw himself into the sea in despair, giving the Aegean Sea its name.Aegeus' legacy lives on in Athens, where his name is still used to refer to the city. He is also remembered for his generosity, as he was said to have given his life to save his son.Aegeus' life and legacy can be broken down into the following key points:
- Son of Pandion, King of Athens, and Pylia, the daughter of King Catreus of Crete.
- Reputedly took part in the Trojan War.
- Founded the Panathenaic Games.
- Promised to marry his son off to the princess of Athens, but when Theseus returned, he had forgotten and threw himself into the sea.
- The Aegean Sea was named after him.
- His name is still used to refer to the city of Athens.
- Remembered for his generosity, as he was said to have given his life to save his son.

The Osprey is a unique bird that is unmistakable when seen at close range. It is the only species in its family, and it is found worldwide. Its breast and belly are mostly white, with some dark streaks. The white extends out the wings, but the primaries, secondaries, and tail feathers are mottled black and white. The back is mostly black or dark brown. The head is distinctive with a white crest, a face bisected by a dark eye stripe, and yellow eyes. While there is much variation, the female tends to have a streakier breast than the male. The Osprey's talons are uniquely adapted for catching and carrying fish: their surfaces are rough, and their toes can be held with three forward and one back, or with two forward and two back, an arrangement seen in owls but not in other diurnal raptors. In flight, they are most often confused with gulls because of their long wings, which are bent at the wrist. However Ospreys have a bounce to their flight that gulls lack. Osprey are birds of prey which have a similar body structure as to hawks. Osprey eat:
- fish
- mice
- small insects
fish
Ospreys eat mainly live fish. Although they are not above eating any dead fish they come across, they are not scavengers. They occasionally also take other small prey such as snakes, rodents, other aquatic prey and even other birds.

Order for Masks by VIRGINIA MORENO
ORDER FOR MASKS
Virginia Moreno
To this harlequinade
I wear black tight and fool's cap
Billiken*, make me three bright masks
For the three tasks in my life.
Three faces to wear
One after the other
For the three men in my life.
When my Brother comes
make me one opposite
If he is a devil, a saint
With a staff to his fork
And for his horns, a crown.
I hope for my contrast
To make nil
Our old resemblance to each other
and my twin will walk me out
Without a frown
Pretending I am another.
When my Father comes
Make me one so like
His child once eating his white bread in trance
Philomela* before she was raped. I hope by likeness
To make him believe this is the same kind
The chaste face he made,
And my blind Lear* will walk me out
Without a word
Fearing to peer behind.
If my lover comes,
Yes, when Seducer comes
Make for me the face
That will in color race
The carnival stars
And change in shape
Under his grasping hands.
Make it bloody
When he needs it white
Make it wicked in the dark
Let him find no old mark
Make it stone to his suave touch
This magician will walk me out
Newly loved.
Not knowing why my tantalizing face
Is strangely like the mangled parts of a face
He once wiped out.
Make me three masks.
Notable Allusions:
Billiken- a charm doll with a pointed ears and mischievous smile.
Philomela- According to Greek Mythology, Philomela was a daughter of King Pandion I of Athens and a sister of Procne. In the story, King Tereus of Thrace (husband of Procne) raped Philomela and cut out her tongue.

"Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Music, VI."
As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring;
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the nightingale alone:
She, poor bird, as all forlorn,
Lean'd her breast up-till a thorn,
And there sung the dolefull'st ditty,
That to hear it was great pity:
'Fie, fie, fie!' now would she cry;
'Tereu, Tereu!' by and by;
That to hear her so complain,
Scarce I could from tears refrain;
For her griefs, so lively shown,
Made me think upon mine own.
Ah! thought I, thou mourn'st in vain,
None takes pity on thy pain:
Senseless trees they cannot hear thee,
Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee:
King Pandion he is dead,
All thy friends are lapp'd in lead,
All thy fellow birds do sing
Careless of thy sorrowing.
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.
Whilst as fickle Fortune smil'd,
Thou and I were both beguil'd.
Every one that flatters thee
Is no friend in misery.
Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find:
Every man will be thy friend
Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend;
But if store of crowns be scant,
No man will supply thy want.
If that one be prodigal,
Bountiful they will him call,
And with such-like flattering,
'Pity but he were a king.'
If he be addict to vice,
Quickly him they will entice;
If to women he be bent,
They have him at commandement:
But if Fortune once do frown,
Then farewell his great renown;
They that fawn'd on him before
Use his company no more.
He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need:
If thou sorrow, he will weep;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep:
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee does bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.

There seems to be constant change in the taxonomy of birds based on new scientific information. The following classification is based on The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Ornithology and may not completely match the classification found in a specific field guide. The descriptions are general down to the Family level
Class - Aves
Subclass - Neornithes
Order - Falconiformes - (Hawk-like birds)
Family - Sagittariidae
Family - Pandionidae
Family - Cathartidae
Family - Falconidae
Family - Accipitridae
Order - Strigiformes - (Owls)
Family - Tytonidae
Family - Strigidae
Class - Aves
1. The scientific class Aves includes all birds.
2. Birds have feathers, wings, beaks, and scales on their legs and feet. They're also warm-blooded, breathe air, and lay eggs.
Subclass - Neornithes
This subclass includes all species of modern birds.
Order - Falconiformes - Hawk-like birds
1. Falconiformes have the characteristic hooked beak with sharp edges; fleshy ceres (soft skin) at the base of the beaks; sharp, curved talons; keen vision; and are carnivorous (animal-eaters).
2. Falconiformes are commonly called birds of prey or raptors. They are called diurnal raptors because they hunt during the day. Owls (Order Strigiformes) are also birds of prey, but are nocturnal (hunt at night).
Family - There are five families in the Order Falconiformes.
Sagittariidae - There is only one species in this family, the secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius). Though classified as a Falconiformes, it has many crane-like physical qualities, such as long legs and short, blunt toes. The secretary bird lives in the savannas of sub-Saharan Africa.
Pandionidae - There is also only one species in this family, the osprey (Pandion haliaetus). This fish-eating species can be found near coasts, lakes and rivers worldwide. It has a unique foot structure. The outer front toe can swing to face backward with the hind toe, an adaptation for grasping their prey.
Cathartidae - New World vultures. There are 7 species in the family and they are found in open country and forests from southern Canada to southernmost South America. Like Old World vultures, they're primarily carrion eaters and have more or less unfeathered heads. Unlike Old World vultures, they don't have a syrinx (voice box), don't build nests, and their septum (the structure that separates the two nostrils) is perforated. The Andean (Vultur gryphus) and California condors (Gymnogyps californianus), turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), and black vulture (Coragyps atratus) are in this family.
Falconidae - Falcons and caracaras. The family Falconidae contains 60 species and can be found worldwide except Antarctica. Falconidae are generally agile predators relying more on live prey than carrion. They are similar to birds in the family Accipitridae, but their beaks are notched, and they have proportionately longer wings. The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), prairie falcon (Ffalco mexicanus), and American kestrel (Falco sparverius) are in this family.
Accipitridae - Hawks, eagles, kites, Old World vultures, harriers, and buzzards. The family Accipitridae contains 217 species. The members of this varied group are believed to be derived from a common kite-like ancestor. Most are active predators and build stick nests. Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), Cooper's hawks (Accipiter cooperii), and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) are in this family.
Genus and species - The Order Falconiformes has 286 species worldwide. There are 31 species that are generally considered North American birds.
