SARCOPHAGUS FRONT WITH SCENES FROM THE MYTH OF PERSEPHONE, 200-230 CE. PALAZZO MATTEI DI GIOVE A confusion of figures fills this sarcophagus front, with parallel scenes of movement in chariots at both sides and a scene of static flower-picking at centre left. Starting at centre is the small kneeling figure of Persephone, with an Eros pulling up her velificatio while another is steadying her vase. She's oriented toward the left but is looking anxiously to the right. The most dramatic scene is at right, where she is being abducted by Hades in a chariot heading rightward, preceded by Hermes, a clear reference to the soul's passage to the Underworld. Three goddesses, Athena, Artemis, and Hera, seem to be trying to rescue her, but she can't escape the clutches of Hades, who is ominously facing outward at the viewer. At left is the poignant scene of her mother Demeter searching for her. The winged figure preceding Demeter's chariot is Trepidatio, Fear.

WALL FRESCO SHOWING ARIADNE ON NAXOS, C1 BCE - 69 CE. THE BRITISH MUSEUM This scene from an unidentified site in Herculaneum shows the Minoan princess Ariadne after she helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth and he took her with him on his ship, leaving Knossos and everything she knew behind her. She fell asleep on the isle of Naxos with Theseus but awakened to find him already gone, nearing the horizon. We see her lying against a red cushion, half nude, raising one arm plaintively to Theseus as he's hauling up a sail at upper right. Her helplessness and dismay are poignant. She doesn't know what Theseus does: that he was ordered to leave her, because the god Dionysus wanted her as a bride. He was a faithful husband, too.
For #FrescoFriday we're looking at a #fresco from #Herculaneum now at the #BritishMuseum. This shows a scene of #Ariadne on #Naxos, seduced and abandoned by #Theseus, in a rare depiction of her fear and confusion, rather than of her discovery by #Dionysus. #AncientBluesky 🏺

It turns out they didn't break the mold. They just recycled it as a foundation stone for a barn.

CULT STATUE OF HERCULES OLIVARIUS, C1 BCE (?). CAPITOLINE MUSEUMS The cult of Hercules in the Forum Boarium stretched back to before the foundation of Rome itself. His connection with the area was mythological: the giant Cacus terrorised the area from the Aventine to the Capitoline until Hercules killed him. But this place was the Cattle Market, and Hercules had another role, the protector of commerce, equivalent to the Phœnician god Melqart. His round temple was the first to be built entirely of Greek marble, around 100 BCE, in his role as patron of olive merchants. This statue, once the sacred image of the god, had to be reassuringly strong, but his phallus is canonically small, to show that his passions did not get the better of him. A close look reveals that his foreskin is the ideal length for Greek beauty standards (about 1/3 of the length of the rest). This is a statue for international commerce.
#PhallusThursday in the #CapitolineMuseums presents us with an eye-level #phallus of the splendid C1 BCE cult statue of #Hercules from the round temple in the #ForumBoarium. The god's muscular gilded bronze thighs frame his genitals in a show of strength, but not to intimidate. #AncientBluesky 🏺
