Princezna Duše
Greek mythology has always inspired creators of various artistic genres. No wonder, for Greek myths offer countless dramatic tales of strength, courage and bravery, of fear and hatred, but also of love. The poet Kamil Bednář has retold one of the most beautiful mythical stories, O Amor and Psyche, in which love plays a major role. His fairy tale about Princess Soul served as a model for a television production directed by S. Simonová.
