The myth says that Imeneus, offspring
of Aphrodite and Bacchus, was a
young Athenian of modest social
standing but of extraordinary beauty.
He fell in love with a young
noble girl.
While she was travelling to Eleusis,
she was captured by pirates with
her handmaids; among them there
was also Imeneus, who was mistaken
for a girl.
While the captors were sleeping,
he slew them all and brought
the girls back safe to Athens.
For his courageous deed, he was
awarded the hand of his beloved.
For this reason, the ancient
Greeks invoked Imeneus as a
bringer of happiness in marriage.
