Tmesis is based on Aristophanes speech from Plato's Symposium about the origin of love.

Tmesis takes you back to the time where there were three different sexes, the man the woman and the hermaphrodite. There were eight-limped creatures with two heads whose arrogance lead them to challenge the Gods creating disruption to a previously harmonious world.

Tmesis is a journey from the ancient Greek years to the modern man.
