Based on the mythological story narrated by Ovid in the Metamorphoses, a classical tale of jealousy and love. The giant Polyphemus tries to force his attention on the fair sea-nymph Galatea, who is in love with the shepherd Aci. When mad jealousy drives Polyphemus to kill his rival, Galatea asks her father Nereus to turn Aci's blood into a river so that, flowing into the sea, he will join her forevermore.
