After the betrothal party, everyone is tired but very happy.
They are looking forward to the wedding. As usual, Corinthus
has a story to fit the occasion.
THE MARRIAGE OF PELEUS AND THETIS
Peleus was a brave Greek and a great favourite of the centaur Cheiron, who
taught many heroes at his home on Mount Pelion. Peleus had fallen in love with
the elusive sea-goddess Thetis, and Cheiron advised him how he could win her
as a bride.
Peleus made his way to a lonely sea-shore and crouched by the water's edge,
hidden near the mouth of a dark cave. Thetis came skimming over the waves on
the back of a dolphin, and entered the cave to sleep through the heat of the day.
Peleus seized her in his arms and clung tightly as the infuriated goddess
changed from shape to shape, trying to throw off her captor. She turned herself
into fire, burning Peleus's hands, and then into water that nearly slipped
through his clutching fingers. She became a fierce lion, a hissing serpent and a
deadly, throttling cuttlefish, but Peleus refused to let go.
Finally, impressed by his determination, Thetis consented to marry him. They
were married on Mount Pelion, and the wedding was attended by all the gods
and goddesses.
