Louis Welden Hawkins artwork entitled Clytie - Greek Mythology
Clytie’s story is told in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. She had fallen in love with the Sun, and spread the tale of Venus and Mars being caught making love and being trapped by Vulcan’s net. She pined in vain for the Sun’s attention, sitting outside for nine days and nights without food or drink. As a result, she became rooted in the soil and was transformed into the heliotrope or sunflower, seen here behind her back - The Electric Light Company.
