One of the frescoes from the newly excavated 'Black Room' in Pompeii, depicting an angered Apollo and regretful Cassandra.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: From Pompeii's newly excavated Black Room, a fresco depicting the angered god Apollo, leaning on his lyre, and a tearful Cassandra, sitting on the omphalos in Delphi. Cassandra had promised herself to Apollo, if he gave her the gift of prophesy, but she refused him after receiving the gift. Angered, Apollo cursed her so that none of her prophesies would be believed. The omphalos was the 'navel', the center of the world, from Delphi, from which prophesies were told. Here you can see how salts are already leeching out of the wall behind the fresco, beginning to obscure the artwork.
