Description
-
This image depicts the sea-God Neptune chasing a woman named Coronis. When walking along the sea shore, Neptune saw Coronis and became infatuated with her. He came from the water and began to chase her. The feeling was unrequited on Coronis’ part, and she cried out for help. The virgin goddess Minerva was sympathetic to the virgin woman Coronis and helped her plea. She helped her by transforming her into a crow so that she could fly away from Neptune. Minerva, depicted with her helmet, shield, and spear, is illustrated floating above Coronis in a bed of clouds as she reaches down to help her. Similarly, Coronis’ arms are reaching up towards Minerva.
