Ambrosia


The ancients said of Jupiter that he was not at leisure to mind little things, but Jehovah condescends to care for the least of his creatures, and even looks into birds’ nests; will he not mercifully care for spirits who are heirs of a dread eternity?

A gate of clouds kept by the Seasons, goddesses, opened to permit the passage of the Celestials to earth and back. The gods feasted on ambrosia and nectar, the latter served by Hebe, and listened to Apollo's lyre and singing by the Muses in Jupiter's palace until returning to their individual abodes.
