There was once a seamstress whose name was Epimelís. She served Aphrodite the goddess of beauty. The elegant thread Epimelís used was spun from moonlight. One day, Epimelís was at her loom when Aphrodite appeared to her. “I am very pleased that I have the most magnificent seamstress in the cosmos. Tomorrow Hades and Persephone will be wed, and I want to have the most memorable and elegant robe that ever existed.” She said, and with that, she took leave to her temple. Not a moment had passed before Isorropía (the Greek goddess for poise and dignity) arrived, and said.“I require a fair robe. You will spin the light of the sun into a grand gown, richer than even Aphrodite’s garments.” Epimelís graciously refused, for she felt she could not betray her mistress. No sooner had the words left her mouth that Isorropía spoke again saying. "I order you to do as I say, or I will deliver you to Talaiporía (the God of misery and suffering) Epimelís hesitated, then accepted for she knew that Isorropía was not known to be gracious. Than Isorropía was gone. Epimelís got to work and was soon done. Sunshine was more of a burden than moonlight but was still manageable. when they arrived at the wedding
