A mythic, surreal play where gods meddle in mortal love and a storm tests loyalty. Dive into a verse‑play that blends myth with modern drama.

Set on a stormy sea and a hidden island, the work follows Neptune, a sea god who drifts into authorship and schemes, and the lovers Aliso and Acne as their bond is swept up by schemes, deception, and fate. The text unfolds in shifting scenes with gods, spirits, and human players colliding in a theater of passion and peril.

The experience blends lyrical dialogue with fantastical intervention, exploring trust, betrayal, and the costs of love. It reads like a myth reimagined for the stage, rich in imagery and dramatic turn.

Poetic, dramatic language that moves between myth and theater.

A story of love, loyalty, and the consequences of deception.

Vivid scenes of sea storms, island intrigue, and magical mischief.

Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic storytelling with a modern, stage‑bound sensibility.

Ideal for readers of mythic drama and experimental classics seeking intense emotion and theatrical invention.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a play in three acts. In the first act, Neptune, having become bored with his immortal existence, decides to create an island where he can stage a play for the amusement of himself and the other gods. He enlists the help of several minor deities and spirits, and together they create a beautiful and treacherous island, complete with a lush forest, a sparkling stream, and a hidden cave. The second act introduces the human characters of the play. Aliso, a young prince from Greece, is shipwrecked on the island and falls in love with Acne, a beautiful nymph who lives in the cave. However, their love is forbidden by Neptune, who has other plans for the island. The third act brings the play to a climax, as Neptune's plans are revealed and the human characters must make a choice between love and duty. In the end, Neptune is defeated and the island is destroyed, but Aliso and Acne are able to escape and live happily ever after. This book is a delightful and thought-provoking play that explores the themes of love, duty, and the power of the imagination. The author's vivid descriptions and engaging characters bring the story to life, and the play's timeless themes will resonate with readers of all ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
