Admetus and Alcesti - mythology. With the help of Apollo, Admetus, the son of the Féritus, king of the city of Feres, won an unusual privilege: he could escape death if someone else were to accept to die in his place. Who loves Admith more than his own life?
They all refused to die for the sake of the Admetus. His friends, the father of the father, even the mother who gave birth to him, she also denied. Only his young wife, Alcesti, daughter of Pelias, king of Iolkos, offered a sacrifice, and accepted for his sake to lose her own life.
