At her fervent request, Hermes transforms Lamia into a human form and she departs to pursue a liaison with her lover, the glamorous Corinthian youth, Lycias.

In Episoden erzähle ich chronologisch, wie ich immer tiefer im Sumpf der emotionalen Abhängigkeit versinke und mich ausbeuten lasse, bis fast nichts mehr von mir übrig ist.
