The dance of the sons of Alcinous

Alio and Laodamante, sons of Alcinoo, king of the Phaeacians and father of the beautiful Nausicaa, dance in honor of the guest Ulysses, who arrived tired and naked on their land. Effective is the loveliness and fluency of the two naked subjects, hovering in the air, with a long veil that covers their heads and seems to be about to take a new shape.
