Hecate lost Cerberus in Moscow's 850th Anniversary Park. Ariadne's thread turned into a hose for watering lawns. Nymphs forgot about Aphrodite. Styx narrowed to a tributary of the Moscow River. Moiraes gossip during a picnic. Minotaur is kissing with his beloved, forgetting about the labyrinth. As if from Olympus, we are watching the heroes of ancient Greek myths in a Moscow park.
