Summary "The Assemble of Goddes" by Anonymous is a poem written in the late 15th century. This work is attributed to John Lydgate but is believed by modern scholars to have an unknown author, likely a woman, reflecting a blend of classical mythology and moral themes. The poem encompasses various deities from classical mythology who engage in a trial or assembly, discussing their influence on human affairs and societal virtues, with a focus on the characters of Virtue and Vice. At the start of "The Assemble of Goddes," the narrator describes a dream in which they are taken by Morpheus to the parliament of gods presided over by Pluto. The opening presents various gods and goddesses, each representing different aspects of life, such as love, justice, and nature. Diana and Neptune each voice complaints against the volatile god Colus, who has caused disruption in their realms. The turbulent assembly hints at a deeper exploration of moral themes, justice, and the consequences of vice among both divine beings and humankind. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
