Alexander Macedon/the Great arrived at the fabled Island of the Blessed, Makaron Island, where he was received by Evant, the emperor of its people. Evant sat upon a golden throne beneath which flowed a miraculous fountain said to hold the waters of eternal youth. Legend has it that anyone who drinks from this fountain never ages beyond thirty.
Evant offered Alexander a vial of this enchanted water. But before he could accept it, his maidens stole the vial, drank from it, and, without wings, soared into the sky, transformed by the water’s power. Thus, the Lele were born: magical, untethered, and eternally youthful.
Beliefs about Ilele
(Name possibly derived from Turkish origins, meaning “wind” or “movement of air”)
The Iele are mysterious feminine spirits from Romanian folklore, known for their supernatural beauty, enchanting music, and fearsome power. Their presence is both alluring and dangerous, deeply embedded in rural traditions and landscape lore.
