Third state from third edition [of four]. Juno was the queen of the gods, Jupiter's long-suffering consort. As moon goddess she was consulted and called upon by women in childbirth, and in matromonial matters on which - thanks to Jupiter - she was an expert. The peacock was sacred to her, and its 100 eyes had belonged to Argus to whom she had entrusted the task of guarding the beautiful Io from the lustful Jupiter. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | GODDESS : PEACOCK : NUDE : NICHE : MYHTOLOGY : FEMALE : NACF : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
