Description:

|
Large fresco painted in the Fourth Style, from the House of the Tragic Poet (VII, 8, 5). Iphigenia is forcibly carried towards the altar for sacrifice by Ulysses and Diomedes (or Achilles); on the right stands Calchas, dressed in a long tunic, who displays his unease by bringing his hand to his mouth in a puzzled expression, while on the extreme left, Agamemnon, covered entirely by a cloak, with his head lowered and a hand covering his eyes, turns away from the scene. Artemis appears twice, in the small statue behind Agamemnon and in the sky, with a nymph who is leading a deer.
