Catalogue Note
"Alla musica dolce di Orfeo, cessava il fragore del rapido torrente, e l'acqua fugace, obliosa di proseguire il cammino, perdeva il suo impeto ... Le selve inerti si movevano conducendo sugli alberi gli uccelli; o se qualcuno di questi volava, commuovendosi nell'ascoltare il dolce canto, perdeva le forze e cadeva ... Le Driadi, uscendo dalle loro querce, si affrettavano verso il cantore, e perfino le belve accorrevano dalle loro tane al melodioso canto ..."
Seneca, Medea
