Disguises and Incest


This, is a story within a story. The story of Myrrha is within the story of Vertumnus and Pomona. Although Vertumnus seems a bit stalker-ish with Pomona, I think it's really cute how hard he tries to get her attention. He tells her about the story of Myrrha and her father, Cinyras. The story took Vertumnus nowhere, and Pomona is smarter than we all think because she knows it's not a sweet old lady telling her the story, but she ends up liking what she sees when Vertumnus takes off his disguise.


Meanwhile, a girl named Myrrha longs for her father, Cinyras. Don't worry folks, she knows that what she is feeling is wrong, but she can't escape it. She ends up getting what she wants, but its not much of a happy ending.
