Acis, a character from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," died after being crushed by a boulder thrown by the cyclops Polyphemus, who was in love with the nymph Galatea. In a fit of jealousy, Polyphemus hurled the rock at Acis when he discovered the two together. After Acis's death, Galatea transformed him into a river, allowing him to live on in a different form. This myth symbolizes the themes of love, jealousy, and transformation.
