Cephalus- A Hunter with Girl Problems
Cephalus was a hunter with girl problems. He was the son of Hermes and Herse. He was married to Procris, a daughter of Erechtheus. When he was hunting one day he was kidnapped by the lovesick Eos, goddess of the dawn, cursed to love handsome young men. Unfortunately, Cephalus was both young and handsome, so she targeted him as one of her crushes. But Eos was unable to make him love her and not Procris. But Procris was jealous, very jealous, so she spied on her husband when he was hunting. Cephalus (this is where the tragic Greek twist comes in) mistook her for an animal and shot her. And then the angry Greek law banned him for his accident. Later he helped Amphityron and was given the island Cephallania in return.
Didn't I tell you? The dude's got some serious girl problems.
