Diver Four Poster

Fourth in a series of eight works from the Tomb of the Diver. This tomb was created in about 480 Before the Common Era and was discovered in 1968. Troy Caperton has restored eight images taken fromthe tomb and presents them here for your consideration. Any lover of Classical Greece or of the lifestyle of the Ancients will find this series fascinating. In this fourth panel, a man reclines on a kline, a low sofa, turning to the couple next to him. He has lowered his lyre as the song has ended. He appears to be holding an egg in his right hand. This would be perfectly appropriate for the tomb scene in that the egg is a Pythagorean symbol of re-birth.
