Jupiter's mother Rhea fled to Crete where she gave birth to him in a cave. Jupiter was placed in a cradle hanging from a tree on the slopes of Mount Ida in Crete and fed with wild honey and milk from the goat Amalthea. In a famous painting by Poussin, a nymph holds Jupiter in her arms, holding a jug of milk to her lips, while another collects honey and a shepherd milks the goat Amalthea.
