The prologue, in praise of King Louis XIV, represents
him as Apollo slaying the Python of Delphi. The opera
itself concerns the love story of Cadmus, legendary
founder and king of Thebes, Greece, and Hermione
(Harmonia), daughter of Venus and Mars. Other
characters include Pallas Athene, Cupid, Juno, and
Jupiter.
