José Rodeiro Polyxena of Troy Arriving in Achilles’ Tent, an ink-amazar, 28” x 18,” 1997 (Collection of the artist).
In this Amazar, Polyxena of Troy and her brother Prince Troilus (two minor children of King Priam of Troy) arriving in Achilles’ tent for an inevitable komos (orgy). In The Cypria, a lost epic-poem by Homer, Achilles allegedly loved both Princess Polyxena and her brother, who were also involved (themselves) in a torrid incestuous affair. |
