A close relative to the familiar myth of Semele, Plateee is a character whose self-deception and entrancement places her in the middle of a heartless plot, devised by the gods to cure Juno of her obsessive jealousy over Jupiter and his romantic attachments. Jupiter pretends to fall in love with Plate´e only to abandon her once Juno arrives, proving she has no reason to be jealous.
