A large and broad green landscape, near a cave from which a spring flows to create a mirror of clear water, is the setting for telling the myth of Actaeon: the young hunter, during a hunting trip, he accidentally came across the cave where the goddess Diana and her companions bathed. As soon as she noticed his presence, the goddess, surprised by Actaeon in this moment of great intimacy, became so angry that she threw water in his face, transforming him into a deer. His dogs, not recognizing him, pounced on him and tore him to pieces: from hunter Actaeon had become prey.
