Les femmes de Thèbes sont désespérées : Quand leurs maris vont-ils rentrer de la guerre contre la Béotie ? Bien qu'Alcmène semble plus optimiste que les autres habitants, elle est aussi plus chagrinée : elle prie Jupiter de mettre fin rapidement à la guerre. Mais le dieu dort profondément et n'entend pas d'abord l'appel à l'aide, il est réveillé par le bruit des patins de Mercure. Alors que Mercure rejette les gens, Jupiter prend soin d'Alcmène. Il aimerait apparaître dans sa divinité, estimant qu'il tient son épouse Junon sous sa coupe. Il prétend devoir aller à Thèbes pour soigner en cure un mal de dos alors qu'elle lui fait remarquer que les meilleurs médecins se trouvent à Sparte. Par ailleurs, il demande à Mercure de l'accompagner, ce qui le surprend.
