Once upon a time there were two brothers named Metaia and Dorima and their father Lalicus and their mother; Tyrene. Lalicus was the god of vengeance and Tyrene was the goddess of misfortune. Metaia was the god of good fortune and Dorima was the god of speed. The brothers were like two peas in a pod, always together and they never had a dull moment. .
In Mount Olympus a coming of age ball was held annually during the spring. The ball gave young male gods the chance to meet available young female gods, whom they could marry. Metaia fell in love with the beautiful Isis, the goddess of purity. Metaia and Isis both knew it was love at first sight. Dorima thought it was something that would pass, but as his brother and Isis spent more and more time together and him and his brother less and less time together he knew it was serious. .
Dorima began to become jealous of Isis, Metaia was blinded by love and had no idea his brother/best-friend felt this way. Metaia would ask Dorima nearly everyday if he would deliver love letters to his beloved Isis because Isis lived in the opposite side of the world. Dorima would more than willingly do this for his brother. As time passed Metaia stopped spending time with his brother and devoted himself to his future wife. The couple was to wed in the upcoming winter months. .
When Dorima heard news of their engagement, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Instead of delivering his brothers daily love letters to Isis he began writing letters posing as Metaia. This hurt Isis and she wanted to send a letter to Metaia saying that she no longer wanted to marry him. Dorima then delivered the letter to Metaia and he read and began to weep. Dorima was overjoyed that his plan had worked. .
Metaia and Dorima began to spend time together again but it wasn't the same. Metaia was always gloomy and Dorima was growing tired of this so one day he decided to tell Metaia that he was the cause of the split up.
