cephalo-

In a history of that interdisciplinary program, one former student recalled that Dr. Kennedy climbed onto a lab table at the front of the lecture hall and assumed a quadruped position “to demonstrate to us the concepts of dorsal, ventral, cephalo and caudal.”

Enraged at this, she tells her father that she will not be appeased until married to Cephalo.

But she loses her life through the falling of an old, dilapidated castle wherein she has been keeping an unconventional tryst, and Cephalo becomes the intimate friend of the painter.

Alberto has no will at all, Leda not much, Cephalo less than Leda, and Danae is without character.

Briefly stated, the plot is as follows: Leda, the daughter of a Roman duke, loves Cephalo, who is a gentleman but not a nobleman, and is loved by him.
