Queen Nephele, once a fisherwoman, is neglected as King Athamas indulges his mistress. On her eighth birthday, Princess Helle is abandoned on a leaking boat by her father and perishes in the sea. Grief-stricken, Nephele exposes her husband's cruelty. Athamas collapses in remorse and leaps into the sea. Clutching Helle's shell necklace, Nephele walks away—her love hardened into eternal farewell.
