Summary
[edit]DescriptionSarcophagus Fragment with the Myth of Phaedra 01.jpg |
English: Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection,
Proconnesian marble. This relief decorated the front of a large marble sarcophagus, of which only the left corner is preserved. The scene depicts a group of veiled women turning towards the right, accompanied by a girl who looks towards the left. In the lower part of the sarcophagus, to the right of the girl, us a statuette of Priapus, the Roman god of virility. The identification with the myth of Phaedra isbased on the comparison with other sarcophagi representing the same scene, wher a group of women, the handmaidens of Phaedra, whose image has been lost in this sarcophagus, is trying to console their mistress, who is in love with her stepson, Hippolytus - an unrequited loved. Another element that recalls the story of Phaedra is the little temple in the upper left, interpreted as a temple of Artemis/Diana, goddess of the hunt, to whom Hippolytus was devoted. Phaedra's unrequited longing for Hippolytus and the tragic death of the boy are quite commonly depicted on Roman sarcophagi, for the love-pains of Phaedra came to symbolise the in the funerary context the grief for the loss of a beloved one. On the basis of the hair-styles and the extensive use of the drill, the work has been dated to between the end of the 2nd Century and the beginning of the 3rd Century AD. |
