The story of Alcyone and Ceyx is a story of love and sacrifice, a story filled with emotions. Which is truly heart-warming tale between two lover, this is my version of it.
Alcyone and Ceyx loved each other very much, but one day, Ceyx had to leave to fulfil an important task, and Alcyone was left all alone. Although she cried and begged Ceyx no to leave, he knew he had to go for her benefit.
Ceyx sailed away as Alcyone waved and wept, then retired to her chamber. While Ceyx was sailing the god of the seas, Poseidon, enraged threw a storm on Ceyx. The ship quiclky collapsed and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, while everyone worried about their wealth and their own lives, Ceyx shouted over and over again, "Alcyone, Alcyone."
Although Ceyx died, Alcyone kept going to the shore every day waiting for his arrival. The gods, seeing this, felt sorry and decided to send Sleep to inform her of Ceyx's fate.
After Alcyone saw Ceyx dead on the shore, she ran and ran as fast as she could to go see him and as she was running she transformed into a bird so they could live happily ever after.
It was really satisfying to see that Alcyone and Ceyx despite all the conflicts and deaths they could be together and extend their love forever. I really enjoyed this story and I think the interpretation was very well done.
