By the time Greece was the greatest civilization in the world and the Greeks believed in their myths, Helen of Troy, the prettiest woman among the mortals, was seeing herself in the mirror when suddenly goddess of beauty and love Afrodite appeared and surprised her:
- Helen, because of your beauty, the city of Troy was ruined! You're a fool woman! Do you really think you will remain in History forever as the prettiest woman in the world? But you are wrong, Tindaro's daughter! You won't be the only one! Must know that there'll be another woman like you in the future who will be as pretty as you!
Helen was frightened and, very curious, asked the goddess:
- Great Afrodite, could you please tell me who is this woman? Is she also a goddess or a simple mortal?
- Her name is Marwehl (1). Although she's a mortal, her beauty will be as glowing as the sunshine! In the future, there'll be a country called Germany and she will be born in a region called Westfalen. Marwehl will meet a young prince called Egenumir (2), they'll marry and will be one of the happiest couples in the whole world! It's very important to say that young German Marwehl will be a great protagonist of love and not only a simple assistant like the women of Athens !
- Tell me more about this prince Egenumir, Great Goddess. - said Helen.
- It's been said since the beginning of time that he'll be one of the great players of a very popular sport called football and it will attract the crowds. Actually, football will look like a great pagan mass and a lot of people will die because of it! As a real war, there'll be people against people and man against man! Egenumir will conquer the power and the glory and his wife Marwehl will help him, staying by his side all the time. His subjects will be proud of him! Therefore, he'll be crucified in his land by his own people some years later! Nobody will never forget him!
At that moment, Afrodite left Helen of Troy and suddenly disappeared.
