16 ? - ceiling San Paolo / Parma by Correggio

1
I found this passage ...
This was followed, a year later, by a performance of Cefalo [a theatre play], one of the oldest of Italian dramas, a pastoral play by Nicolo da Correggio [the poet from Ferrara], chiefly taken from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and which is said have suggested the subjects of Correggio's [Correggio the painter] in the Abbess of San Paolo's parlour at Parma.

... and became interested. I detected this ceiling ...

... which has 16 units and at its basis pictures of gods, so somehow "16 gods". I thought of the Michelino deck and I think I should check the details:

This the chimney picture (Diana) and belongs not to the 16 gods.

The room from another perspective.

Interpreted as punished Juno, one of the 16 gods.

3 Graces, one picture of the 16 gods.

I'm not sure, but it seems that all gods seem to be governed by putti-twins. This two gods I can't identify for the moment.

That's, what I could fish from the web .... would be nice to find a list with the names of all the gods.
The whole is said to be done for the private rooms of a nunnery and for a female commissioner.

The twin-putti give the idea, that we've again to do with the Gemini and Castor + Pollux - idea, which we meet also in the Minchiate, the wedding book of 1475 and also at the world card in the PMB-part of the second artist.
