Depictions of the Seven against Thebes: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Costume and Mythology This image, titled "Depictions of the Seven against Thebes," offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of ancient Roman costume and mythology. The scene portrays several key figures from the legendary Theban War, as depicted on an Etruscan cameo and vases owned by Sir William Hamilton. At the center, Amphiaraus, the philosopher and seer, is shown wearing a helmet presented by a genius, symbolizing his divine connection. His wife, Eriphyle, is depicted with a distressed expression as her husband prepares for battle. Nearby, Alcmaeon, Amphiaraus' brother-in-law, threatens Eriphyle, adding to the tension and drama of the scene. On the left, Tydeus, the warrior, and Polynices, the banished king of Thebes, are depicted in armor, ready for battle. The intricate details of their costumes reveal the skill and artistry of the Roman craftsmen who created these works. This image is a hand-colored copperplate engraving from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842. The work is a testament to the enduring fascination with the ancient world and its rich cultural heritage. The depictions of the Seven against Thebes offer a unique window into the past, allowing us to explore the mythology, history, and fashion of ancient Rome.
