Summary
| Description |
English: Detail of drawing of Etruscan oinochoë (wine-server), late 7th-century BC, from Tragliatella near Caere. A legend reads TRUIA in Etruscan characters. The dominant image is of two horsemen emerging from a labyrinth. The scene has sometimes been interpreted in light of a passage from Vergil's Aeneid (5.545–603) describing the equestrian event called the "Troy Game" (Lusus Troiae), in which the poet says compares the complex manoeuvres of the drill to the Cretan Labyrinth. |
