Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Mount Cithaeron; Ancient Greece
Description: This image depicts the nymph Echo standing on the ground as she speaks to the goddess Juno who is sitting on a bed of clouds in the sky with her peacock beside her. Echo would often converse with Juno to distract her from finding out that Jupiter was having affairs with nymphs. When Juno find out about this deception, she punishes Echo by making her only able to speak if she repeats the last word of what anyone says to her. Echo is depicted in the background of the image in the bottom right corner lunging into the forest to hide in shame.
