Blue-skinned Zephyrus, spirit of the wind, chases Chloris, who transforms into Flora in her flowering dress, while the Three Graces dance, Mercury waves a wand and Cupid gets ready to fire an arrow. |
Her cult developed among the Sabines, and as we recall she was abducted by Zephyrus, who then married her. |
And by and by she commaunded Zephyrus by the appointment of her husband to bring them downe. |
There comes Zephyrus, whispering love to Flora incarnate in the Lotus. |
The gentle Zephyrus married Flora, goddess of the springtime. |
But now comes in Zephyrus with the tidings that Hyacinthus is slain by Apollo. |
