<p>Upon discovering the sea nymph Galatea's infidelity, her betrothed, the Cyclops Polyphemus, pulverizes her lover Acis with a rock. In grief, Galatea turns his blood into a river and Acis becomes god of that river, which bears his name. Here Galatea escorts a swarm of sea creatures in celebration of Acis's apotheosis.
