Not everyone is given the opportunity to visit the Ether. So say, languishing with envy, the inhabitants of Athens and Sparta, Thebes and Argos. Here, in rich Ether, the mistress of trade routes, Glaucus, the famous horseman, rules. Glaucus's father, the great cunning Sisyphus, returns home from the kingdom of the dead. The terrible three-body Chimera flies here to burn temples. The winged horse Pegasus also flies to these regions to drink from the spring in the square. Here the interests of the gods will converge: the crafty Hermias, the wise Athena, the hot-tempered Poseidon. The boy Hippo, the son of Glaucus and the grandson of Sisyphus, lives in Ether. The one who is later known as Bellerophon, the Thrower-Assassin. Here his bright, violent, tragic fate will begin, and what happens next is still in the lap of the gods.
