Part of my ongoing project "Mythology" © Mariza Kapsabeli
In Greek mythology, the goddess Halcyon (Alcyone in Greek) was the daughter of Aeolus, the ruler of the winds.
She was married to the mortal king Ceyx of Tachis. Once, Ceyx had to sail to Delphi despite all the cries of his beloved Halcyon, who was terribly afraid of the sea.
Halcyon proved right because Ceyx drowned, when a huge storm took his life not far from the coast and his boat disappeared in the waves.
Then, Morpheus, the God of Dreams, appeared in the poor woman’s dreams and told her about the tragedy. The desperate Halcyon went to the coast where she found Ceyx’s body and threw herself into the dark waves. Amazed by her love and devotion, the gods decided to save her and to transform her into a seabird. They also turned Ceyx into another kingfisher so the two could live and be together..
