Framed Print of Fragmentary marble sarcophagus with scenes from the Oresteia mid-2nd century A
Fragmentary marble sarcophagus with scenes from the Oresteia mid-2nd century A.D. Roman Enough remains to identify the figures on this sarcophagus with the Oresteia legend known especially from the Greek plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.FRONT: Separate dramatic events from the cycle of plays were combined into one continuous scene. A complete sarcophagus in the Vatican Museum shows the entire relief as it was probably originally represented here. In the center, Orestes was represented killing his mother, Clytaemnestra, and her husband, Aegisthus, because his mother had murdered his father, King Agamemnon, on his return from the Trojan War. Immediately to the right, Furies, concealed behind a curtain, begin to attack Orestes for his crime of matricide. At the far right, he has taken refuge at the temple of Apollo at Delphi in order to be cleansed of his guilt, and he threatens the Furies who have followed him with his drawn sword. One exhausted Fury sleeps at his feet.RIGHT. © PL Photography Limited, Piemags
