Description

This book explains how Giorgione¿s famous picture shows the shepherd Hesiodundergoing his famous vision in which the Muses told him of his poetic mission; onthe right the infant Zeus held by his nurse Amalthea one year after being rescuedfrom being devoured by his father Cronus; and the altar of two columns erected byZeus to commemorate his victory over Cronus, corresponding to his own altar withtwo columns in his birthplace Lyktos. The lightening is, of course, the attribute ofZeus. The muses are not seen, since Hesiod says they are ¿invisible¿, but he oftenmentions their nine houses, shown in the painting.
