Description: | Juno was the chief goddess of Olympia, as well as the sister and wife of Jupiter. She was worshipped as the defender and protector of women. One of her symbols, the peacock, can be seen behind her. She is represented chastising Cupid, the god of love. He is often represented being punished by disapproving goddesses. To the Greeks he represented the deepest and strongest forces in man's nature. | Subjects: | mythology (Juno and Cupid) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Naigeon, Jean Claude (French painter, 1753-1832) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9016... | Go to resource |
