Atys

About the show

Atys and Sangaride love each other, though she is betrothed to King Celenus. The goddess Cybèle, secretly in love with Atys, appoints him high priest and attempts to keep the couple apart. When Atys cancels Sangaride’s wedding, Cybèle punishes them with a spell: Atys mistakes Sangaride for a monster and kills her. Cybèle reveals the truth; Atys stabs himself, and she transforms him into a pine tree.
