If Q7 you read the chapter in your text, you already know that uh... in 1489, a performance that was something like a dinner theater was organized to celebrate the marriage of the Duke of Milan, and...a dance Student 1: Now/have a question.

The triumph of good, portrayed by Jupiter, over evil, portrayed by Circe, was told in a... let’s call it a unified production.
