The Legend of Wagadou tells the tragic love story of Maadi and Siya. Set in the Wagadou Empire, which thrived under a pact with Bida, a Seven-Headed Serpent who demanded a beautiful girl as a sacrifice in exchange for rain and gold.
Siya, chosen for her beauty and purity, accepted her fate, but her lover Maadi vowed to defy this destiny - despite her pleas, fearing the serpent's defeat would end their land's prosperity.
On the night of the sacrifice, Maadi surprised Siya, who was chained to a golden stool by a well, where the seven-headed serpent Bida emerged. Despite Siya's fears, Maadi defeated Bida, but the serpent's dying curse brought drought and despair to their empire.
This painting was inspired by the painting Bacchus and Ariadne by Titian at The National Gallery
