Summary[edit]

Description
English: Detail View of Late Corinthian Black-Figure Hydria, ca 575-550 BCE depicting the fight of Achilles and Memnon.

The original photograph was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by Walters Art Museum with the following description: This "hydria", a water-jug, depicts a battle from the Trojan War in which two of the war's greatest heroes, Achilles and Memnon, clash in the presence of their mothers, the goddesses Thetis and Eos. Each warrior has his chariot standing by, with charioteers at the ready. Inscriptions, in the Corinthian alphabet, identify the figures. The painter was obviously proud of his ability to write, a skill that was not widespread.

This version of the image has been cropped to focus only on the fight between Achilles and Memnon, and digitally edited to reduce the glare.
Date between circa 575 and circa 550 BCE
