Amalthea nursing the Infant Jupiter, before 1840. Plaster relief of Amalthea feeding the infant Jupiter (or Zeus). In Greek mythology, Amalthea is the figure most commonly identified as the nurse of Zeus during his infancy. She is described either as a nymph who raises the child on the milk of a goat, or, in some accounts, as the goat itself.
