Largo de S. Estevão: Ulysses leaving and the Seven Hills
Remember when Ophiussa snaked from the top of the hill, where the Castle is, to reach Ulysses boat? Desperate, furious, insane, Ophiussa and her serpent maidens slid down the valley towards the river, bleeding all the way through. But when they reached the waters, the boat... the boat was long gone. From the snakes twists and turns, the seven hills were formed. And from their heavy blood and tears, the rosy river Tagus flowed in. Eventually, the snakes dispelled, becoming the enchanted watery genies of Lisbon, the city of longing.
