... This flaming war began in the East and soon it chose the whole world as theater.

They don’t know that there is a precise player’s hand ruling that fate, they don’t know that there is an inevitable law controlling their imprisoned caprices. But even the player is a prisoner of another chessboard of black nights and blinding days. God moves the player, who moves the pieces. But which God, behind God, can move this story about dust and time, dream and agony? ... Love! There is no doubt, there isn’t any other God, I assure you ...
such as “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet”. Starting from the story of the world and its myths, Gaia, Uranus, Hephaestus, “Myth” tells about the Greek stories of (missed) love between Echo and Narcissus, Pyramus and Thisbe, and, finally, Endymion and Selene. This last story is the culmination of an impossible Love/fate: Selene falls in love with the very beautiful Endymion and, in order to be able to visit him every night, she gave him a never-ending sleeping. But, even if this sleeping doesn’t preclude procreation (fifty daughters were born from their relationship), it doesn’t allow Love to be fully expressed.
