Image description

He must not be seen! I will cover his body, I will wrap him completely in my mantle. No one who loved him could bear to see the dark blood pouring from his nostrils and the raw wound in his breast. So declared Tekmessa when she discovered the body of her dead lover Ajax in an Athenian tragedy by the playwright Sophokles. The exterior of the cup presents the events leading to Ajax's suicide. Attic Red-Figure Cup Type B Fragment (part of 86.AE.286), Greek (Attic), about 490 B.C.
