Description
Alcyone (the lady) and Ceyx (the bird) from Greek mythology. They were both originally human, blissfully happy in their marriage, but extremely disrespectful of the gods. Who punished them, as the Greek gods usually did. Ceyx was drowned at sea, and when she heard of it, Alcyone drowned herself. After death, they both became kingfishers.

I love the pop-art colouring on this one.
Oh those Greeks, I'm sure there are some stories about people being very good and respectful and being rewarded for it, but you never seem to hear any.

Well, who likes hearing stories about happy people anyway?
