Pleiades | Entrance Piece

"The Pleiades were the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas and the oceanic Pleione: Maria, Electra, Target, Clean, Alcyone, Sterope, and Merope. These sisters form a constellation. There are several myths explaining the death of these women. One myth says that they all killed themselves out of grief over the death of their other sisters, the Hyades. Another myth recounts that after seven years of being pursued by Orion, a Boeotian giant, they were turned into stars by Zeus. This entrance piece serves as an introduction to tonight’s mythological world."
