Callirhoé

About the show

Princess Callirhoé loves Agénor, but her parents force her to marry Corésus, the high priest of Bacchus. Their wedding is interrupted when Callirhoé faints. Corésus calls on the people to kill Agénor. An oracle says Callirhoé or someone who loves her must die. Callirhoé and Agénor each offer to sacrifice themselves for the other. Corésus, unwilling to win Callirhoé at the cost of her hatred, stabs himself, fulfilling the oracle.
