Summary

Description
English: The Oceanid nymph Clytie metamorphoses into a sunflower (the myth states a heliotrope) as she looks at the Sun god above her, who is refusing to look at her, drives his sun chariot in the sky. Her face is already spouting the petals, and her hands are morphing into leaves. Engraving by Abraham van Diepenbeeck, based on the story from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Below visible a Greek legend writing "Clytia turns into a heliotropium".
Ελληνικά: Η Ωκεανίδα νύμφη Κλυτίη μεταμορφώνεται σε ηλίανθο (ο μύθος αναφέρει ηλιοτρόπιο) καθώς κοιτάζει τον θεό Ήλιο από πάνω της, ο οποίος αρνείται να την κοιτάξει, που οδηγεί το ηλιακό άρμα του στον ουρανό. Το πρόσωπό της βγάζει ήδη τα πέταλα και τα χέρια της μεταμορφώνονται σε φύλλα. Γκραβούρα του Abraham van Diepenbeeck, βασισμένη στην ιστορία από τις Μεταμορφώσεις του Οβίδιου. Από κάτω φαίνεται ένα ελληνικό παράρτημα που γράφει «Η Κλυτία μεταμορφώνεται σε ηλιοτρόπιο».
