The king of Crete, Cadmos, has just Uxoricide in order to live with his scheming lover Ermione. For this deed, a prophetess curses him in the name of the Greek gods, foretelling him that the day on which his infant daughter Antiope falls in love with a man will be day he dies. Furious at the gods' judgement, and unable to kill Antiope on the spot (lest the curse would fulfill itself immediately), Megalomania Cadmos renounces the gods and proclaims himself one. To this end, he and Ermione undergo a treatment with mystical vapors which render their bodies invulnerable (save for Achilles' heel on Ermione's chest incautiously left covered).
