Cyrene Georgics Nymph Under Water Virgil Aristaeus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the mythological figure of Cyrene, the nymph of the hunt and fertility, and her son Aristaeus, reclining in the enchanting underwater palace that was said to be their home. The scene, first published in 29 BC, is derived from Virgil's Georgics, an agricultural text that also contained various mythological tales. Cyrene, a beautiful and powerful nymph, was known for her extraordinary strength and was often depicted with the ability to tame wild animals. Aristaeus, her devoted son, was a skilled hunter and shepherd, who was said to have been taught these skills by the god Apollo himself. In this tranquil underwater scene, Cyrene and Aristaeus are shown in a peaceful moment, resting on a sumptuous bed adorned with exotic marine life. The palace walls are adorned with intricate coral formations and colorful fish swim gracefully in the crystal-clear waters. The image exudes a sense of serenity and harmony, reflecting the mythological tale of the close bond between mother and son. The publication of this image in 29 BC marks an important moment in the history of Roman art and literature. Virgil's Georgics, which contained this mythological tale, was a significant work that helped to establish the poet's reputation as a master of Latin literature. The image of Cyrene and Aristaeus in their underwater palace serves as a visual representation of the rich and imaginative world that Virgil created in his writing, and continues to captivate audiences to this day.
