Summary edit

Description
English: Funerary lekythos. Marble. Found in Athens at Syntagma Square, the site of an important ancient cemetery. In the center of the image, Hermes Psychopompos (leader of souls), identified by means of his chlamys, winged shoes and herald’s staff, leads the young Myrrhine to Hades. On the left are the dead woman’s relatives led by an old man, possibly her father, who raises his right hand in a final gesture of farewell. The directness of the image and the clear reference to the young woman’s death allude to the imagery of clay, white-ground, lekythoi. 420-410 B.C. On display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
