Document Summary
Stay away from interior of the parthenon in museum paper. Tomb of persephone, vergina: hades carrying off persephone. Central action is hades, the god of underworld, has just snatched up persephone on his chariot. Figure on other wall is demeter, who is mother of perspehone, she is already mourning the loss of her child most likely. Sitting down or crouching in a contemplative mood, or sad mood, mourning loss of her daughter. This in the whole sequence of the story or narrative is probably a later point in time being depicted here than the previous slide. The 3rd demension, going into the wall: the chariot wheel are in a fore shortened stance, looks squashed, b/s looking at it from an oblique angel. Haven"t seen this in the geometric, oriental, archaic period. Have very few attempts of anything like this, either in profile or?. Mature representation of more than one angel showing.
