The nymph Coronis flees the monster and brutal lover Triton while a war breaks out between Apollo and Neptuno: one sets the Thrace country they both want to rule over on fire while the other is flooding it. Ending love entanglements and warlike adventures, Apollo kills Triton and saves Coronis. They are appointed King and Queen by Jupiter.
