*'''herword in flesh''', perhaps alluding to the tongue? Acc. to Ovid's 'Methamorphoses', Teseus (ie, Mr. Porter here) raped Philomela's and cut her tongue so that she could not tell about the crime. Philomela, then, began to wove a tapestry in which she explained what had happened, as a moth may wove its cocoon! Plus, in the Decameron, Filomela (one of the narrators) tells a story (VIII, 8) that develops in Athens, as from Athens is Ovid's Philomela. **More about this story is suggested [http://www.finnegansweb.com/wiki/index.php/Itis nearby]
