The iconography refers to the myth of Adonis, a young man of extraordinary beauty loved by the goddess Aphrodite. Adonis was brave and passionate about hunting but, despite Aphrodite's warnings, he decided to confront a boar, which mortally wounded him during the hunt. In many versions of the myth, the boar is actually Ares, the god of war, jealous of Aphrodite's love.
