Saturn, faithful to his promise, swallowed, at their birth, all the male children brought to him by his wife Cybele. […] The son-in-law pursues the father’s life, The wife her husband murders, he the wife; The step-dame poison for the son prepares; The son inquires into his father’s years. […] These ideas are allied with those of Hymen, who is called Juno, the virtuous wife. […] Juno promised a kingdom, Minerva glory, and Venus the fairest woman in the world for a wife. […] Vulcan, suspecting the infidelity of his wife, formed an invisible net around them, and drew upon the lovers the laughter of the remaining divinities.
