From the newly-excavated Black Room in Pompeii, this fresco of the meeting of Helen and Paris
Summary

| Description |
English: From Pompeii's newly excavated Black Room, a fresco depicting the meeting of Helen (here, in Greek, Elene) and Alexandros (prince Paris of Troy - Alexandros was his name as a foundling shepherd). Paris' Molossian dog looks out at us, the viewer, with a sad look on his face, knowing what terrible things are to come. Here you can also see how salts are already leeching out of the wall behind the fresco, beginning to obscure it. |
