The theme of the milky way galaxy and the worlds and beings that incarnate into it: Cosmo-erotic love……..
The Creation of the Milky Way (Juno breast-feeding the young Hercules with Apollo seated on his solar chariot, and Zeus disguised as an eagle both observe) by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) Madrid, Museo del Prado. The god Jupiter wished to immortalise his infant son Hercules, whose mother was the mortal Alcmene, so he held him to the breast of his sleeping wife, the goddess Juno, to drink her milk. However, Juno woke. The milk which spurted upwards formed the Milky Way, while that which fell downwards gave rise to lilies.
