$a The publication-date of 1829 is given on the title-plate; the colophon carries the date of 1827. The Riepenhausens' outline drawings are an imaginative reconstruction of fifth-century paintings made by Polygnotus for the Cnidians' Lesche or 'club-house' at Delphi. These showed Odysseus's visit to the underworld (the 'Necyia'), described in Homer's Odyssey, and the capture of Troy ('Iliou Persis'). The reconstruction is based on the second-century description of the paintings given by Pausanias in his Description of Greece (Bk. 10, chapters 25-31). |
