Clytia (or Clytie) was a water nymph, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys in Greek mythology. She was loved by Apollo. Apollo, having loved her, abandoned her for Leucothea and left her deserted. She was so angered by his treatment that she told Leucothoe's father, Orchamus, about the affair. Since Apollo had defiled Leucothoe, Orchamus had her put to death by burial alive in the sands. Clytie had wanted Apollo back and had wanted to win him back by taking away his new love, but her actions only hardened Apollo's heart against her. She sat naked, with neither food nor drink, for nine days on the rocks, staring at the sun, Apollo, and mourning his departure. After nine days, the suffering turned her yellow and brown, and she was transformed into a sunflower (some researchers claim heliotrope or marigold), which turns its head always to look longingly at Apollo's chariot of the sun. This story is told in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

[William Cobbett] The Porcupine's Den.
[Samuel De Wilde]
Published for the Satirist Nov.r 1.st 1808 by S. Tipper 37 Leadenhall Street.
Etching, sheet 205 x 360mm (8 x 14"). Trimmed within plate on three sides. Holes in right margin where previously bound. Folds as issued. Small tears in folds.
Plate from the Satirist, iii. 337. Crouching on the floor of his cave is William Cobbett (1763-1835), a monster whose bare trunk ends in two scaly snake tails. Spikes sprout from behind his head and shoulders, meant for a porcupine's quills. A few of them dart toward a cave opening where Cobbett is exposed to sunlight through a sun-inscribed "Monthly Meteor." Holding up a quill, he flinches in fear and raises a "Veil of Infamy" with his left hand. Above an open book, the words "Memoranda of Infamy" are suspended. The quills take off in the direction of the "Monthly Meteor," but they fall back when they get to the cave's opening. The words "Rage," "Lies," "Vulgar," "Abuse," "Envy," "Lies," "Disappointment," and "Malice" are inscribed on them. John Horne Tooke (1736-1812) and Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet (1770-1844) are the two other monsters on the right side of the cave. They are slender, nude animals with webbed wings, a tail, and talons. They have an open book with the words "Cobbetts Register 1802 - Sr F Burdett a Seditious Demagogue, Mr Pitt a God, Horne Tooke a Devil, Loyalty, England Happy" written on it, and they are pushing it over a large bonnet rouge that reads "Jacobin's Extinguisher." Rays from the "Monthly Meteor" strike Burdett. Two open books stand in front of Cobbett: 'Cobbetts Register 1807 - Sr F Burdett a God. Mr Pitt a Devil. Horne Tooke an Angel. Sedition England at her last Gasp.' and 'Instructions from Lord Edward Fitzgerald.'
