Engraving, part of a set of 12 mythological scenes, created by Etienne Delaune in Strasbourg in 1573. Each scene is presented inside an oval frame made up of two thin ovals, which contains an inscription for the scene. In this engraving, Amphitryon and Cephalus (holding the javelot returned by Procris) appear running on the left side of the frame, towards the right, their dogs preceding them and, further up front, Thebes' fox and Cephalus' dog are transformed into stone statues by Jupiter. On the background are the builings of the city of Thebes.
