About it...



Achilles - A half-divine hero, son of the sea nymph Thetis and king Peleus of Thessaly. As the legend states he was educated by the wise centaur named Cheiron. Achilles was described as very handsome/beautiful but as well as emotional. It was said that he was immortal as his own mother dipped him into the river Styx when he was a baby.  The river was running a holy water, by dipping Achilles into it holding him by the heel made his whole body immortal except little spot on his foot.


Cinderella Was a young woman, Madame Terain’s child who dreams of escaping the torturous lifestyle she has to go through working as a maid for her stepfamily which consists of her stepsister Anastasia and Drizella as well as her stepmother Lady Termaine. Cinderella was being silenced all the time by Lady Termaine to make sure that Cinderella’s chores are as best and done without her speaking out. Young girls only friends were the mice, birds, Bruno the dog and Major the horse.


Circe ‘KIRKE’- Was a goddess pharmakeia (sorceress or a witch) who lived with her nymph attendants on the mythical island of Aiaia. Circe was very skilled in many types of magic although her main abilities involved in metamorphosis, the dark art of necromancy and the power of illusion. When Odysseus (one of the Trojan warriors) landed on her island she transformed all of his men into animals, but with the help of the god Hermes, he overcame the goddess and made her release the spell from his army.


Faust - Studied for years without satisfactory progress losing his faith and his idealism. In the frustration he becomes a black-magic sorcerer and summons the Devil himself. The demon ‘Mephistopheles appears. Together they make a pact in which Mephistopheles offers to serve him for a period of time giving him an unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures in exchange to receiving Faust’s soul.


Orpheus - He was the greatest of all musicians, he sang wide variety of songs. Once he sang high-pitched songs about the creation of the world. Other times he would be playing low notes on his lyre as he sang of the battles of Zeus and the Olympians gods who were the ones who clashed against the Titans. He even had songs which were about people who were transformed to birds or flowers, whenever he sang, the clear rich words and the silvery notes from his great harp were so enchanting that they always had a magical effect to everything and everyone that surrounded him. His songs could charm things as rocks, rivers or even humans and animals. When he was playing at the forest the oak trees pulled their roots up and followed him down the mountainside and planted themselves by the seashore where he ended his song.
