''Atalanta Fugiens'' (Atalanta in flight) is an emblem book by Michael Maier (1568–1622), published by Johann Theodor de Bry in Oppenheim in 1617 (2nd edition 1618). It consists of 50 discourses with illustrations by Matthias Merian, each of which is accompanied by an epigrammatic verse, prose and a musical fugue. It may therefore be considered an early example of multimedia. == Title page == The title page depicts various scenes from Greek mythology related to golden apples: * ''Top:'' Garden of the Hesperides. * ''Left:'' Hercules stretching out his arm to seize one of the golden apples. * ''Right:'' Aphrodite handing the golden apples to Hippomenes. * ''Bottom:'' Race between Atalanta and Hippomenes, with Atalanta picking up an apple. Behind them is a temple with lovers embracing each other, while in the background they appear as a lion and lioness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atalanta Fugiens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
