Tapio Riikonen "Meren ja lemmen aallot" by Franz Grillparzer is a play written in the early 20th century, which explores themes of love, destiny, and the duties of priesthood through the lens of Greek mythology. The story centers around the character Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite, as she prepares for a significant ceremony and reflects on her past, relationships, and the influence of love in her life. The opening of the play establishes a lively temple setting in Sestos where Hero sets about preparing for a festival honoring the goddess Aphrodite. As she engages with Ianthe and the temple staff, Hero grapples with her emotions and the weight of her priestly responsibilities, which starkly contrast with her yearning for personal connection. The arrival of her family adds complexity to her inner conflict as Hero's past interactions and unresolved feelings surface, hinting at future challenges she may face in reconciling her duties as a priestess with her human desires for love and companionship, notably as she interacts with two young men, Naukleros and Leander, who represent the allure of the outside world.
