Cephalus and Procris, c. 1680s, by Godfried Schalcken (1643-1706)

The tale of two lovers, tragically fated due to the interference of gods.

"Diana, goddess of hunting, gave the huntsman Cephalus a magic dog and spear. Later, Aurora, goddess of dawn, fell in love with the mortal Cephalus and tried to seduce him. He thought only of his wife Procris, however, and rejected her.

Procris feared that Cephalus had been unfaithful and hid in the woods to spy on him while he was hunting. Mistaking the noise she made for that of a wild animal, Cephalus threw his spear and killed her." - National Gallery

Odysseus’ Family Line is Made up of Wife Simps

So I just learned that... it seems like being imprisoned by goddesses might run in Odysseus’ family. I was looking into Laertes’ (Odysseus’ dad) family tree; his mother and father didn’t really have info, but his father’s father, aka grandfather, Cephalus was married to Procris. Now, Ceph and Proc loved each other... but Eos, goddess of dawn fell in love with Ceph and took him against his will. Ceph never gave up his love for his wife, until he was finally released. Just like Odysseus and Penelope, Ceph and Proc were separated for a long time and truly loved each other... but where Odysseus and Penelope succeeded, Ceph and Proc didn’t. Cephalus’ faith on Procris was tested- he was told that while he’s been faithful to her, his wife was not. So, he tested her loyalty by... disguising as another man (does this also run in the family???) and tried to seduce her- and she almost gave in- but that was enough for him to say that she was not, and Procris, ashamed, runs away to the woods. Later, Procris returns, gives Cephalus gifts and they get back together... but once again, Procris hears gossip that her husband is the one cheating (he was not). She follows him to the woods to investigate, but Cephalus hears her movements, and thinking she was a wild animal, hurls a spear toward her and accidentally kills his wife. In her final moments, the two clear up their misunderstanding. Cephalus becomes so sad that he kills himself. So... yeah. Odysseus’ great grandparent’s side also had the whole loyal husband and wife thing going on... but unlike Odysseus and Penelope who had unwavering faith with each other, his great grandparents doubted each other despite truly loving one another- and it resulted in a tragedy. ...That said Laertes was also faithful to his wife, Anticlea. When he bought Euryclea, a female servant, Laertes never bedded her cause he was scared of his wife’s resentment.

#The Odyssey #Odysseus #Penelope #This was... a fascinating find #Odysseus coming from a family of 'I LOVE MY WIFE' club #Unfortunately Cephalus didn't have the 'trickster' level of cunning that Odysseus inherited from his mother's side #Now we have a cunning trickster+wife simp man
