The myth of the love of Triton and the messenger

About the project

The son of a fisherman from a village on a small island did not want to be a fisherman like his father, but wanted the freedom to swim like a dolphin.

He asked the goddess Luna to transform him, and on a full moon night when Oroborus could be seen in the sky, his request was granted and he was transformed into Triton, like Neptune’s son, with the torso of a man and the tail of a dolphin.

He began to like himself and had self-respect.

When one day the goddess Luna watched Triton swimming freely in the sea, she was so moved that she shone brighter than usual.

At the same time, a messenger ran to take a message from a from one village to another, and as he stood at the edge of the cliff, he cast his shadow on the water. Triton saw the shadow and fell in love with the image.

Every time the messenger ran along the shore, he tried to attract his attention by jumping and making big waves. Then one very hot day, the messenger refreshed himself in the water and Triton, seeing the thirst of his beloved, made an amphora out of sand in which he drew his silhouette and filled it with water that turned sweet. He brings the amphora to the surface and hands it to the messenger, who at first

but when he sees the triton, he falls in love.

Night comes and he returns to the seashore to meet his love again.

And when they jump into the water, they meet for their first kiss.
