Framed Print of Achilles among the Daughters of Lycomedes, about 1625-1630. Creator: Pietro Paolini
Achilles among the Daughters of Lycomedes, about 1625-1630.
Additional Info: Achilles, dressed in women's clothing, holds a shield while admiring a sword. Based on ancient legend, Achilles mother, knowing that her son would die if he fought in the Trojan War, disguised him as a woman and entrusted him to King Lycomedes household, where he lived among the king's daughters. When war threatened, Ulysses and other Greek chieftains were sent to fetch him, knowing they had to trick him into revealing himself. Cunningly, they deposited a heap of gifts before the women: jewelry, clothes, and other finery, but also a sword and shield. When it came time to select from the gifts, Achilles instinctively grasped the weapons, thus revealing his true identity.
