Greek myth-makers crafted the downfall of Troy and its rulers into
an archetypal illustration of ruthless conquest, deceit, crime and
punishment, and the variability of human fortunes. This book
examines the major episodes in the archetypal myth - the murder of
Priam, the rape of Kassandra, the reunion of Helen and Menelaos,
and the escape of Aineias - as witnessed in Archaic Greek epic,
fifth-century Athenian drama, and Athenian black- and red-figure
vase painting. It focuses in particular on the narrative artistry
with which poets and painters balanced these episodes with one
another and intertwined them with other chapters in the story of
Troy. The author offers the first comprehensive demonstration of
the narrative centrality of the Ilioupersis myth within the corpus
of Trojan epic poetry, and the first systematic study of pictorial
juxtapositions of Ilioupersis scenes on painted vases.
