Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe wedding of Thetis and Peleus, sarcophagus from Villa Albani, Rome, illustration from Histoire des grecs, volume 1, Formation du peuple grec, 1887, by Victor Duruy 1811-1894.jpg |
English: The wedding of Thetis and Peleus(?), sarcophagus in Villa Albani, Rome. Illustration from Histoire des grecs, volume 1, Formation du peuple grec, by Louis Ménard, Delagrave, 1886. Drawing by Victor Duruy (1811-1894). For an earlier drawing of this sarcophagus please see Plate 111 from Winckelmann's Monumenti antichi inediti (1767). According to more recent scholars, the sarcophagus was created around 120–130 AD, i.e. during the reign of emperor Hadrian. The subject is being discussed: In 1972, Bernard Andreae still considered it a representation of the Marriage of Peleus and Thetis, the one and only of its kind. In 2004, Paul Zanker explained the relief as Achilles receiving his weapons from Hephaistos/Vulcanus and further gifts from the Seasons. The veiled woman sitting behind Achilles would be his mother, the sea goddess Thetis. Her sad expression is caused by her knowledge about her son's early death in the Troian War. The sea monsters on the sarcophagus lid refer to Thetis being a sea goddess. |
