The Greek Myth: The Legend Of King Kypaen

Back in the days of ancient Greece, there was a lovely island kingdom called Kypaen. On one half of the island there was the civilized life; the palace, the estates, fields, harbors, and all the people that lived there. On the other half of the island there was a dense wilderness where dangerous beasts roamed, and trees grew so thick that they blocked out the light. In the civilized half of the island there lived the King’s right hand man, a wealthy one indeed. When it was time for his wife to give birth, she brought forth two tiny twin girls: Aischuné and Tellopia. The two girls grew and played in a home almost as exquisite as the King’s, until one day when they were both very young. Aischuné had broken a vase that their father cherished.
King Isuthio boasted one day about how great of a ruler he was, and how he didn’t need the gods to maintain his grand kingdom. When Zeus, the King of the gods, heard Isuthio’s arrogance, he was furious and sent down ceaseless rains upon Kypaen for an entire year. The rain flooded the harbors, ruined the fields, and wrecked countless homes. The storms battered and buried the island until Kypaen was on the brink of disaster.

Loyal Hermes came to Kypaen, searching for the fair Tellopia. While he was searching, Aischuné was walking along a river near the wilderness, desperately searching for food. Hermes, mistaking Aischuné for Tellopia, landed next to her and
Here’s what you must do: first, you must kill boastful Isuthio, for he will never realize the error of his ways. Once he is dead, take his royal scepter that he always has with him as proof of his demise. After that you must sail to the island of Lamaegyia. On this island soars Zeus’ beloved eagle, Aetos. Capture the eagle without injuring it to prove yourself and the rest of the Kypaens worthy, then return to this island. You must call upon Zeus and show him that you have brought his eagle back, and if he finds you worthy he will end the storms. If he does not, then Kypaen will drown, but this is the only chance of redeeming your people.” Fear crawled over Aischuné’s face, and gripped her heart with icy fingers. Seeing this, the messenger god carried on. “We the Olympians have brought you various gifts to aid you on your journey,” said loyal Hermes, and he stepped back. As he did so, many of the other gods and goddesses of Olympus appeared around him, each with something to present to
