This photo shows a dimly lit cave scene with seven figures inside. Some sit on rocks, others stand or crouch near a waterfall. A tall column with a statue on top stands in the background, and a bright opening lets in light. The figures look relaxed, some holding hands or leaning against the rocky walls. The title hints this might be a mythological scene, but the figures don’t look like gods—they’re more like humans in a natural setting. If you’re curious about the story behind it, look up aeneas.
