Written in an obscure mixture of Latin, Italian, and regional dialects, the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (Poliphilo’s struggle for love in a dream) is the tale of Poliphilo’s love for Polia narrated as a dream. During his dream, Poliphilo searches for Polia, finds her, declares his love to her and eventually unites with her. In his quest, Poliphilo encounters five beautiful nymphs approaching the fountain called the “mother of all” (Panton Tokadi) in which they invite Poliphilo to bathe. The nymphs are the five senses: Aphea (touch), Osfressia (smell), Orassia (sight), Achoe (hearing) and Geusia (taste).
