"Iliou Persis" [Ἰλίου Πέρσις] "The Sack Of Troy"

"Iliou Persis" [Ἰλίου Πέρσις] "The Sack Of Troy" – XVI

Ajax seizing Cassandra. In place of the Palladion is an archaic image of Apollo, in the form of a long-haired, beardless youth, en face, with hands at sides and feet close together, a black line drawn horizontally across the waist; this figure stands on a square base. The god is portrayed as a kouros, resting on a plinth on the left.
Cassandra, in sleeved chiton with apoptygma tied, and himation over her shoulders, with hair flying loose in long wavy tresses, has fled to the statue; and with one foot on the plinth she is in the act of throwing both arms around its waist, but is dragged back by Ajax, who, with right foot raised, has seized her with his right hand by the hair. He is bearded, and has a helmet tilted back, shield (device, a lion in silhouette, springing to left), spear, and greaves decorated with spirals. Beneath his shield hangs an end of drapery which is not shown elsewhere.
