In the middle of the second showcase there is a silver hand mirror. Obviously the mirror plays a major role when it comes to stealing souls: An ancient Greek myth tells how the titans, gathering the substances of space, formed them into a great mirror. Dionysos, looking into the mirror reached his infant hands out toward the beautiful being he saw before him. But the titans moved the mirror further and further away, luring Dionysos away from his heavenly home. Then they fell upon the infant god and torn him into pieces and began to devour him. At this point, Zeus, looking down with his all seeing eye, saw what was taking place. In his anger, Zeus hurled great bolts of lightning at the titans, nor did his wrath subside until only ashes remained of their bodies. From the ashes of the titans arose the race of man, mixed with the portion of the divine Dionysos within them, along with the elements of the titans.
