The Romans named Saturday Sāturni diēs - "Saturn's Day". According to Roman myth (inspired by the original Greek myth), it had been foretold that one of the sons of Saturn would overthrow him, just as he had overthrown his father, Caelus. To prevent this, Saturn ate his children moments after each was born. How to be an inbred artist and a mother? How to devoure and to lose at the same time? How to be a creator and a destroyer?
