Acis and Galatea found out by Polyphemus (Mdicis Fountain, Paris)

In Greek and Roman mythology, Acis was the god of the Acis River near Mount Etna in Sicily. He was originally a Sicilian youth, and was often considered the son of Dionysus, or, according to other sources, of Faunus and the river-nymph Symaethis.

According to Ovid, Acis loved the sea-nymph Galatea, but a jealous suitor, the Cyclops Polyphemus, killed him with a boulder. Galatea then turned his blood into the river Acis. Other sources write that Acis turned himself into a river to escape being crushed.
