This piece was inspired by the greek story of Merope, A god in the greek pantheon and a star within the Pleiades star cluster.

In astronomy, the Pleiades is a star cluster in the constellation Taurus, and Merope is one of its seven brightest stars. However, according to Greek mythology, Merope was the faintest star in the Pleiades because she was the only one of the seven sisters to marry a mortal man, while her sisters all married gods.

Legend has it that Merope felt ashamed of her mortal husband and her decision to marry him, and she became less bright and prominent among her sisters as a result. Some versions of the myth suggest that Merope was eventually forgiven by the gods for her choice, and her star began to shine more brightly again.
