GODS IN LOVE II

Love takes more strange forms in these further tales from Greek mythology: a god becomes a swan to win a queen, a sculptor sees the statue of his ideal woman come to life, a princess is made pregnant by a shower of golden rain and a couple turned to stone as they consummate their marriage. There is snow in summer Athens as the North Wind claims his bride, a failed attempt to rescue a dead lover from the underworld, the lures of naked Sirens and day turned into night as a god impersonates a bridegroom. Everything is possible when the gods of ancient Greece make love.
