The next story we find in Metamorphoses is the tale of Ceyx and Alcyone. This was a very interesting story, and I really like it because not only does it have action and romance, but there are also many things we can relate to.
Everything started when Ceyx told Alcyone that he was going on a voyage across the seas. She felt sad and was extremely worried. She wanted to go with him, for the love they shared was one of the deepest ever seen. After departing Ceyx has to go through a lot, first he travels and then there start to be storms sent by the gods and many start to die. His love for Alcyone is huge and tries not to die, but that impossible. Alcyone knows something was happening and was really scared and worried. One day she finally knows the truth and is transformed into a bird and continues to live, while Ceyx died and would never come back.
This is kind of tragic… but its reality. Death does exist and so do many other things that seem to be destroy true love. But as a book said, true love never dies.
wow...
