As God created the earth and man, he realized man needed help and create the gods and goddess
(which he granted abilities to assist man in his everyday life).
The gods and goddess lived in a city called I Voítheia Apó psilá (The help from above).
In I Voítheia Apó psilá lived a young god called the Prostatis (The Protector).
Prostatis was at the age; where young boys become men and when love takes center stage.
He fell deeply in love with Ofilia. A human, selected and appointed by the gods.
Ofillia was granted immortality in exchange for life long servírisma (servitide) to gods.
Prostatis' father, O Theós tou Polémou (The God of War) hated the love Prostatis had for Ofillia;
a mere mortal. So O Theós tou Polémou devised a plan to kill Ofillia.
He got Ofillia alone and kicked her off of the edge of I Voítheia Apó psilá and into the weightless sky.
Prostatis saw what his father had done and flew with all his might to save Ofilia from plundging to the ground.
O Theós tou Polémou, determined to divide and conquer created
a great barrier which separated the city of I Voítheia Apó psilá and the waters and earth below. A barrier
which prevented humans from seeing the city of In I Voítheia Apó psilá.
O Theá tou Neroú (the goddess of water and the mother to Prostatis) saw what O Theós tou Polémou had done.
She quickly summoned the waters below to rise and catch Ofillia.
Ofillia fell within the deepths of the water which pulled her onto land below.
O Theá tou Neroú, in order to soothe her sons heart created a break in O Theós tou Polémou's
barrier. However, the barrier was lifted for only a few moments in the morning.
Prostatis and Ofillia loved each other so deeply that they would wake up to catch a glance
of each other in hopes of one day being able to reunit.
Caution: This is a love story that has only been passed down through the ages and has now been written.
Each iteration of this story has been told slightly different than the latter. Like most love storys in
greek mythology there is forbidden love, heart ache, tradegy and yet hope.
