Summary[edit]

Description

Facade right half, panels number 3 and 4. After the doorway into the tomb, the third and forth panel of the façade show the judges Rhadamanthys and Aiakos waiting for the deceased man. They will decide whether to include him amongst the good and send him to the Isles of the Blessed or amongst the bad, in which case he will be punished with eternal torture in Tartara. The judge Aiakos, seated on a chair or rock, is depicted as a venerable old man leaning on his staff. Rhadamanthys is depicted in the last rightmost panel. He stands leaning on his staff, wrapped in a yellow (golden) himation, and turns towards Aiakos as though awaiting his judgment. The names of the two judges are indicated in red letters above their heads, and their identification is therefore certain. The dead man, as usually in Macedonian tombs, remains anonymous.
