カイニスの金の鳥
The title’s origin comes from the story of Ceyx (or Caeneus) in Greek mythology, who was initially a woman. Ceyx was considered the most beautiful woman in Thessaly and was sought after by many men. However, she did not choose any of them as her husband. One day, after being conquered by the sea god Poseidon, she wished to never face such a fate again and asked to be transformed into a man. Poseidon granted her wish, turning Ceyx into Caeneus, a man with an invincible body.
Caeneus then embarked on various adventures, eventually becoming disrespectful towards the gods. Zeus, fearing Caeneus, incited the Centaurs against him.
The Centaurs insulted Caeneus, suggesting that he was merely a woman pretending to be a man, and that he should be holding a spindle instead of a weapon. They then trapped Caeneus by piling large trees on him, creating a mountain. From within this wooden mountain, a golden bird emerged and ascended to the sky, which was said to be the transformed form of Caeneus.
