Caption

Rhéa, which had been confined of Zeus in a cave on the Mont Dictated, entrusts the newborn to the care of the two sisters, so that they raise it in secrecy of his/her father Cronos. Under the guard of the Curètes, those nourish the young god with the milk of the Chèvre Amalthée.

A legend of botanists and gardeners give that, scratched with the center with a Framboisier ( Rubus Idaeus, bramble of the Mount Ida ), the Ida nymph while bleeding definitively coloured the raspberries, which were white before.
