Hero and Leander

Drift away with the Greek myth of Hero, a maiden trapped in a tower with a prophecy warning her against venturing out. With the guidance of her loyal nurse, Hero dares to defy destiny and attend the feast of Aphrodite, hoping to find freedom and perhaps even appease the goddess herself. She meets Leander, whose nightly swims guided by Hero's torch symbolize a love that braves both myth and marine fury. The music in this episode is Frankel by Syntropy.
