Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Central medallion of a mosaic depicting Achilles. Achilles is hidden in the King's daughter's apartments in Skyros. The sight of weapons and the sound of trumpets awoke his warrior instinct, allowing Ulysses to discover him.
  • Mid third century

  • Thysdrus/El Jem
Français : Fresque ornant le cubiculum (chambre) de la maison dite "Maison d'Achille" à Thysdrus (actuellement El Jem). La fresque date du milieu du IIIe siècle. Médaillon central d'une mosaïque représentant Achille. Achille est caché dans les appartements de la fille du roi à Scyros, où sa mère Thétis l'a envoyé de peur qu'il ne parte pour la guerre de Troie et n'y meure. Achille a été déguisé en femme. Les émissaires de l'armée achéenne venus le chercher mettent en place une ruse : ils placent des armes bien en vue au milieu d'un tas de bijoux, puis font sonner l'alarme. La vue des armes et le son des trompettes réveillent l'instinct guerrier d'Achille, ce qui permet à Ulysse de le découvrir.
Nederlands: Centraal medaillon van een mozaïek over Achilles. Achilles heeft zich verstopt in de kamers van de koningsdochter op Skyros. Het zicht van wapens en het geluid van bazuinen maakt het krijgsinstinct van Achilles wakker, zodat Odysseus hem kon ontdekken.
