Description:
|
|
From House of the Tragic Poet (Casa del Poeta Tragico), Pompeii (VI, 8, 3.5, atrium). Six of the over twenty fresco panels in the house were removed to the Naples Museum; these were all from the eastern, better-reserved side of the house. This panel would have been the first one seen upon entering the atrium and depicts Zeus and Hera on Mount Ida. Zeus persuades his bride to lift her veil and reveal her face, which she turns towards the viewer. This scene is also depicted in a metope from Hera's fifth century BCE Temple at Selinus and celebrates the passage in a woman's life, from invisibility to exposure, virginity to marriage.
