Description
-
This illumination depicts Opis, also known as Ops, sitting on a throne in the centre of the image holding a scepter and wearing a crown. Her two brothers, Saturn (who is also her husband) and Titan are standing behind her. Saturn and Titan appear to be looking down towards Opis’ stomach, as she is pregnant with Saturn’s children. Once the children, Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto are born, Saturn and Titan attempt to kill them, which is why they are looking ominously at her stomach.
