Aella of Athens

Set around 450 B.C. Athens, a child is born. Bestowed upon her are the powers of the Anemoi. The Anemoi, better known as the four Wind Gods, favor the young princess and gift her with their abilities as well as protect her. As the first born in Athens, she thought she could become ruler of the city, but she was wrong. She learns early on that despite her fortuitous birth, she will never ascend the throne because she is a woman in a patriarchal society.

Aella tries to prove her worth, but her efforts end up fruitless. Throughout the years of being ostracized by her family, she has found comfort in praying to Hades rather than Zeus. Her mother, Metiadusa, is weary of watching over such a troublesome daughter who speaks to the Infernal God with such affection. She prays to Zeus about her troubles and stresses. Zeus goes along with Metiadusa's wishes and arranges for Aella to become one of his many consorts, but could he have ulterior motive other than the whims of the Queen?
