Description: On the 4th century BC Sophilos Dinos, the artist painted the procession of Olympian gods on their way to the wedding of Thetys & Pelleus, parents of Achilles. Here Themis & Chiron the centaur, attendant and teacher of Achilles, are conversing, walking ahead of 3 Nymphs towards Pelleus' palace
Description: The wedding of Thetis and the Greek hero Peleus is one of the precipitating events of the Trojan war. Thetis did not want to marry Peleus. Proteus advised him to grab Thetis when she was asleep and bind her tightly to keep her from escaping by changing forms. She did shift shapes, becoming flame, water, a lioness, and a serpent. Peleus held fast. Subdued, Thetis consented to marry him. Achilles was born from their union.
Description: The death of Sarpedon, son of Zeus and Laodamia, occurred during the Trojan war. Here the god Hermes directs Hypnos and Thanatos, personifications of Sleep and Death to carry the away the body of the hero to be buried in his homeland. I reproduced this design from a vase painted and signed by Euphrosios around 550 BC in Athens.
