English: Fresco from Francois Tomb, in the Etruscan city of Vulci, Italy
Reading this from left to right: Agamemnon, King of the Mycenaeans and brother-in-law of Helen, who was murdered after his return from Troy; the ghost of Patroclus, beloved comrade and friend of Achilles, who was killed in battle by Hector of Troy; the winged Etruscan female angel of death, Vanth, whose wings embrace Patroclus and Achilles; Achilles, who is leaning forward to behead the Trojan slave at his feet, but was killed before the fall of Troy when Paris shot an arrow into his vulnerable heel; the Etruscan death demon, Charun, armed with his hammer; Telemonian Ajax, who dies by falling on his own sword at the end of the Trojan War; a Trojan slave waiting to be killed; Locrian Ajax, who drowns returning from Troy, and is holding another Trojan slave off the right edge of this image.https://eclecticlight.co/2016/05/28/the-story-in-paintings-genocide-and-an-etruscan-tomb/ |
