…As the days went by, peacefully and harmoniously, Venus was getting ready to put her head out the window and Orpheus was singing, full of inspiration. The goddess was ready to confess her love to Orpheus, but Jupiter, who had long been attracted to Venus, went to visit her and declared his love for her first. So compelling were Jupiter’s reasons that the goddess accepted the proposal of her new lover.

In the evening, Orpheus went to sing the serenade to Venus and, full of inspiration, sang one of his most beautiful compositions. Jupiter was with Venus at the time and was very pleased with the sweet tone he heard so he opened the window to meet the singer.

Despite the goddess’s efforts to prevent this, as she did not want to upset Orpheus, Jupiter opened the window wide and showed himself to Orpheus, who had the unpleasant surprise of seeing the beautiful presence of Venus replaced by the magnificent beard of the god. A few days after this incident, the divine Orpheus took his lyre and decided to embark on a ship ready to find in the sea the happiness he had lost. After sailing for a long time, a strong storm sank the ship, and our hero, thanks to his wooden lyre, was able to survive. It took a few hours until the lyre, swept away by the current, reached a small islet. Already on the mainland, Orpheus believed himself saved and as the stars shone in the sky at night, the instinct of a poet he had inside, inspired him to sing a hymn about the greatness of the storm he had just experienced.
