Ancient legends rise from the deep at the stroke of midnight for a four-hour bacchanal. Poseidon and Neptune, the Greek & Roman Gods of the Sea, invite you to immerse yourself in their dark celebration of the full moon’s mystical power to make the oceans swell and rise. Mortal men will be tempted by drink, darkness and debauchery. Men who succumb to temptation and get lost in Poseidon’s Maze may find the Gods playing with them like pawns in their ancient games of pleasure and sport. Kneel before the Gods of the Sea...
