Description

Like Zeus, in the form of a white bull, kidnapped Princess Europa; like Theseus abandoned Ariadne; like Dionysus violated Aura; like Apollo was a servant of Admetus, for love; like the simulacrum of Helen found itself, together with that of Achilles, on the island of Leukè; like Erigone hanged herself; like Coronis, pregnant with Apollo, betrayed him with a mortal; like the Danaids cut off the heads of their spouses; like Achilles killed Penthesilea and joined with her; like Orestes struggled with madness; like Demeter wandered in search of her daughter Core; like Core looked at Hades and saw herself reflected in his eyes; like Jason died, struck by a beam from the ship Argo; like Phaedra languished in vain for Hippolytus; like Athena welcomed the child Erichthonius, with a serpent's tail, into her aegis; like Phanes let himself be swallowed by Zeus.
