This story starts with Thelxiope coming to terms with not being able to find her friend, Persephone. She is the oldest out of three sisters, and after transforming their bodies into that of birds, she then takes on the responsibility of protecting her sisters from the sailors of The Argo and of The Odyssey 

Thelxiope overcomes a constant anger that threatens to boil when she hears Orpheus sing of her and her sisters on The Argo. This is a story about a woman learning to forge her own path rather than listen to what these men have to say about her.
