Painting from red figure amphora, depicting a bardic performer reciting a verse from a poem; 'Once upon a time in Tiryns'. Made in Attica, Greece. Bards in Ancient Greece were gifted with remarkable memories that allowed them to song and recite lengthy epic poems such as Homer's The Iliad and the Odyssey, often to the accompaniment of a lyre. The image is reprojected to flatten the curvature of the amphora. British Museum collection. | |
