This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Aegina is Waiting for Arrival of Zeus designed from a painting by Ferdinand Bol shows, that according to Greek Mythology, Aegina had been reclining on a divan when she was suddenly startled by the presence of Zeus who appears in the scene in the form of an eagle. Cupid strikes again with his arrow and the couple is smitten with each other. Zeus carries his lover Aegina off to a secluded island called Oenone and out of this romantic tryst with Zeus, Aegina bears forth a son who is named Aeacus, and the island on which Aegina gave birth is renamed in the son's honor. The colors are presented in a variety of antique jewel tones and add a richness to the scene. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
