This amphora depicts Aeneas escaping with his father (Anchises), wife and 2 sons from Troy, and B. Sisyphus pushing his rock, accompanied by Persephone seated in her Hades-palace.

This links to the real Trojan war between the Greeks and Trojans which the Greeks won, destroying Troy and slaughtering almost everyone. 

Aeneas was a Trojan citizen who escaped Troy and began a long journey to Italy to found a 'new Troy' as prophesied by the gods which would become Rome.

The myth goes that Achilles was asked to fight for the Greeks against the Trojans. Achilles refused, and as the Trojans surrounded the Greeks, Patroclus came up with a plan. He would wear Achilles' amour so that he could disguise himself to scare off the Trojans and inspire the Greeks. Achilles agreed but asked Patroclus to be careful and the plan worked. After fighting the Trojans and later leading an assault on the Trojans, Apollo intervened and sneakily wounded Patroclus. Hector, the Trojan hero, came out of nowhere and knocked Patroclus's helmet off, revealing the disguise. Hector killed Patroclus. 

The image on the vase likely depicts the fight over Patroclus and his body. As the story goes, this led to Achilles joining the battle to avenge his lover, Patroclus and thus help win the war. 

His death, caused in part by the interference of one of the gods on the Trojans' side, is apparenly an example of how human beings can't fight their fate or overcome the powerful forces that exert their will over the world, i.e. fate vs free will. ]]> 2019-05-16 11:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rshayward13/AG_architecture/wish/360717545 Vase grasboll https://padlet.com/rshayward13/AG_architecture/wish/361001422 2019-05-16 22:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rshayward13/AG_architecture/wish/361001422 Vase. grasboll https://padlet.com/rshayward13/AG_architecture/wish/361001427 It is a red figure vase.

It was made by Phidias and is considered one of the greatest achievements in sculpting in Ancient Greek. 

It was located in the centre of the Parthenon as the main focal point of the building to worship her. 

The ancient historian Pausanias gave a description of the statue: 
‘...The statue is created with ivory and gold. On the middle of her helmet is likeness of the Sphinx ... and on either side of the helmet are griffins in relief. ... The statue of Athena is upright, with a tunic reaching to the feet, and on her breast the head of Medusa. is worked in ivory. She holds a statue of Victory that is approx. four cubits high, and in the other hand a spear; at her feet lies a shield and near the spear is a serpent. This serpent would be Erichthonius. On the pedestal is the birth of Pandorain relief.’

As the structure has been lost, its characteristics and qualities were reproductions of other miniature sculptures, engraving on coins amongst other recounts.
