In [[Ovid]]'s [[Metamorphoses]] (xiii.750-68) '''Acis''' was the spirit of the Acis River, which flowed past Akion (Acium) near [[Mount Etna]] in [[Sicily]]. According to Ovid's poem, Acis was the son of [[Pan (mythology)|Faunus]] and the [[naiad|river-nymph]] Symaethis, daughter of the River Symaethus. Acis loved the [[nereid|sea-nymph]] [[Galatea (mythology)|Galatea]], but a jealous suitor, the [[Cyclops]] [[Polyphemus]], killed him with a boulder. Galatea then turned his blood into the river Acis.

It was a familiar tale from the Renaissance onwards: there are paintings of the subject, sometimes as mythological incidents in a large landscape, by [[Adam Elsheimer]]<ref>([[National Gallery of Scotland]]. Elsheimer changed his mind in midstream and painted out the figures, rendering the painting a pure landscape.
