Catalogue Note
Galatée est la fille de Nérée et de Doris. Le cyclope Polyphème, fils de Poséïdon, qui vit sur la même île au large de la Sicile, en tombe éperdument amoureux, mais la belle n'a d'yeux que pour le jeune berger Acis. Ensemble, ils se moquent des chants d'amour que le cyclope dédie à Galatée.
