Brief Story in Greek mythology, Marpessa, an Aetolian princess, was wooed by both the Messenian prince Idas & the god Apollo. She was carried off by Idas in her chariot but Apollo found Marpessa & Idas, & tried to take her. At this point Zeus, the king of the gods, intervened, & ordered Marpessa to choose between the two. She eventually chose Idas as she was fearful that Apollo would leave her when she grew old. Thank you for visiting VessJewelry!
