Giulio Parigi, a renowned artist of his time, captured the essence of Greek mythology in his stunning artwork. In Plate 12, we are transported to witness the scene where the Judgment of Paris unfolds before our eyes. The beauty and grace depicted in Plate 10 show Atalanta being led by Diana herself, showcasing their strong bond. Moving on to Plate 9, we see Hicleus and Naucleus, two brave Argonauts being guided by Neptune's float. Plate 7 introduces us to Peleo and Talamone, two heroic Argonauts who are under the guidance of Tetide as they embark on their journey. As we delve into Plate 8, Ceres leads Polyphemus and Palemonius through uncharted waters as they navigate their way towards glory. Orpheus takes center stage in Plate 18 as he is accompanied by Bacchus himself. Their harmonious collaboration creates an enchanting atmosphere that captivates all who behold it. The Ship of musicians with Claucus and tritons showcased in Plate 16 brings forth a symphony that resonates across the sea. Asterion stands out among his fellow Argonauts in this grand adventure as he is illuminated by a young figure symbolizing lightning in Plate 16. Eurytus, Echion, and Aethalides take charge in Plate 14 as they showcase their strength and determination alongside other courageous Argonauts. Intriguingly beautiful floating islands guided by pole bearers can be seen in Plate 15 along with rivers and goddesses gracefully flowing through them. Lastly but not least important is Cupid leading Meleager and Tydeus through treacherous paths shown vividly in Plate13.
