Aphrodisias Sebasteion Aeneas relief detail
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Sebasteion, or Augusteum, was jointly dedicated, according to a 1st-century inscription on its propylon, "To Aphrodite, the Divine Augusti and the People". It contained many reliefs representing these, replicas of which are in the reconstructed building, the originals being in the museum.
This relief shows: Aeneas fleeing from Troy. From the Wikipedia: Aeneas (Greek: Αἰνείας, Aineías, derived from Greek Αἰνή meaning "to praise"), in Greco-Roman mythology, was a Trojan hero, the son of the prince Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite. His father was the second cousin of King Priam of Troy. The journey of Aeneas from Troy (with help from Aphrodite), which led to the founding of the city Rome, is recounted in Virgil's Aeneid. |
