Description
In Greek mythology Morpheus was the god responsible for the dreams of people. When in the arms of Morpheus people would enjoy a sound sleep, but would also see dreams about their future or even upcoming events. Morpheus was the dream messenger of the gods, communicating the divine messages through images and stories, created as dreams.
Being the master of dreams, Morpheus had the ability to send images to the visions of people, to shape these images and give a form to the creatures that lived in dreams. Morpheus himself had a talent in mimicking any human in the dreams, and was able to take any form he wanted.
Ovid the Poet wrote in his Metamorphosis:
King Sleep was father of a thousand sons, indeed a tribe, and of them all, the one he chose was Morpheus, who had such skill in miming any human form at will."
This is an original painting by noted Israeli artist Esther Newman Cohen, painted in oil on canvas from a live model.
