| Title |
Pair of Salt Cellars with the Story of Actaeon |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: This pair of salt cellars is decorated with the popular tale of Actaeon from "The Metamorphoses" by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC-AD 17). Actaeon, a young hunter, accidentally sees the goddess Diana bathing. She notices the young hunter and, in a rage, transforms him into a stag. Actaeon's hunting dogs do not recognize him and kill him. The moral of this story was that it is possible to sin unintentionally. |
