Hoshi no Orpheus

Synopsis

A magical blend of old and new, featuring vibrant animation and an exciting disco/rock musical score, "Winds of Change" retells five ancient Greek myths. These engaging cautionary tales are adapted from the classical author Ovid, with a new character, Wondermaker, added. Wondermaker serves as our guide to each episode's meaning and transforms into each of its heroes. First, he is Perseus cutting off the head of Medusa; then, Actaeon being turned into a deer for spying on the goddess Diana as she bathes; the god Mercury in a tale of envy; Orpheus descending into Hades for his love, Eurydice; and finally, Phaeton causing chaos with the sun-god's chariot.
