PHIL 681
Aristotle's Ethics and Politics
Spring 2007 Prof. Cherubin
This image from the always superb Perseus
collection depicts Priam, King of Troy (left) supplicating the Greek
warrior Achilles for the return of the body of Priam's son Hector.
Priam has brought a significant ransom, as was considered appropriate.
It is interesting to note that instead of vilifying this king who led
their enemy, Greek poets and painters generally depicted Priam with
respect and sympathy, as an upstanding leader who must witness the
destruction of his city and the death of his son.
