Linothorax and chiton doodles
Added 2024-12-01 09:00:36 +0000 UTCIt's a little doodles. I refer to the fresco of the tomb of judgment.
Macedonian officers and Hermes parodied in Alexander and Hephaestion!
Aeacus and Radamanthus might also be better painted as an practice for himation.
This fresco depicts the dead (soldier) being led by Hermes before the judges of Hades, Aeacus and Radamanthus.
Did the Macedonian(soldier) buried in this tomb want to go to Elysium? The Macedonians were generally considered to have valued life in the afterlife, Unlike the Greeks of "If you die, that's it."(Except for Orpheusians and others.) (This statement is based primarily on a book in Japanese and an online lecture I recently took on "Life and Death of the Greeks.")
I am an ignorant amateur, I don't know anything professional about it. But this fresco is my favorite because it is very colorful and beautiful.
Thank you for looking at my drawing!

Thank you for looking artwork!! I must apologize for drawing only Hephaestion instead of Peucestas lol. I would like to visit Greece someday, this is also for research purposesπ

I got to see them in person a few summers ago. Some archaeologists believe it is the tomb of one of Alexanderβs friends/generals. Possibly Peucestas!
