"Jupiter, assuming the form of Diana, followed the girl as if to aid her in hunting, and embraced her when out of sight of the rest. Questioned by Diana as to the reason for her swollen form, she replied that it was the goddess' fault, and because of this reply, Diana changed her into [a bear]"

Drawing of a relief from a silver vessel depicting Zeus in the shape of Artemis, Kallisto, and Eros.
