A burlesque extravaganza possibly spoofing Handel's opera Acis and Galatea (1718).

In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Acis is the son of Faunus and the river-nymph Symaethis (daughter of the River Symaethus). His beloved is the sea-nymph Galatea (daughter of Nereus and Doris). She returns his love but a jealous rival, the Sicilian Cyclops Polyphemus, kills him with a boulder. Galatea then turns his blood into the Sicilian River Acis.
