In Tempe, shepherdess Dorilla loves Elmiro, while Nomio, actually Apollo in disguise, loves her. King Admeto learns that the dragon Python can be stopped only by sacrificing Dorilla. Nomio kills the monster and saves her. Admeto orders Dorilla to marry Nomio, but she and Elmiro confess their love and flee. Elmiro is condemned and Dorilla throws herself into a river; Apollo saves her, reveals his identity, and orders Dorilla and Elmiro, and Eudamia and Filindo, to marry.
Defeated by Pompeo, King Farnace tells his wife Tamiri to kill their son and herself rather than be captured. His sister Selinda is taken by the Roman Atridate, who loves her, as does his captain Gilade. Selinda plays the two men against each other to save Farnace, and everyone is spared.
After defeat by Rome, Farnace orders his wife Tamiri to kill their son and herself rather than be captured. Berenice conspires with Pompey against him, while Selinda tries to use the rivalry between Aquilio and Gilade to save her brother. The opera ends with the characters spared, but the source does not explain the resolution.
In a mythological setting, figures including Jupiter, Isis, Osiris, Diana, and Calisto appear in disguises and mistaken identities among shepherds and rulers.
A partially lost Italian dramma per musica by Antonio Vivaldi that includes nine arias by other composers.
