Archaeologists Find Pompeii Fresco Depicting Greek Mythological Siblings - Italy

Part of the fresco in an excellent state of conservation depicting the Greek mythological siblings Phrixus and Helle discovered at the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy on March 1, 2024. The myth of Phrixus and Helle is widespread at Pompeii but it is topical too. They are two refugees at sea, a brother and sister, forced to flee because their stepmother wants rid of them and she does so with deception and corruption. She, Helle, fell into the water and drowned. The fresco showcases vibrant colours and exquisite artistry, with Phrixus rescued by a ram with golden wool and Helle depicted on the verge of drowning, her face obscured by waves as she reaches out to her brother. The ancient city of Pompeii was destroyed in AD79 by an eruption. Photo (EV) Pompei Park/ABACAPRESS.COM
