Arion

In Thrace, Arion is takenfrom his mother Demeter by the god Hades. In the Underworld, Arion is trained tobe a warrior. His training is driven by revenge: Arion was told that hismother's blindness was caused by Zeus and Zeus' death will remove the curse.Finally, Arion and Geedo (a huge ape-like creature who had become Arion's friendand companion) left the Underworld to find Zeus. Seneca, a small thief, makesoff with Arion's sword and this leads Arion to his first encounter with theforces of Zeus, commanded by his daughter Athena. Arion is captured but is laterset free by Lesfeena, Athena's mute serving girl. As Arion rejoins Geedo andSeneca (and worries about Lesfeena), the forces of Zeus and Poseidon face eachother in battle. In the background sits the scheming Hades, and the calm Apollonwho seems to have plans of his own.
