Die Unheil bringende Krone

Directed by Ernst Wolfram Marboe

After King Creon of Agrigento was overthrown with Hades' help, the patron goddess Lucina wrested a bet from Hades: If she could create a "king without a kingdom," a "hero without courage," and a "beauty without youth," Creon would become king again. The poet Ewald and the tailor Simplizius Zitternadel accomplished the task with Lucina's help.
