(42.23 x 56.52 cm) (image), Pen and black ink, bistre wash, and white gouache, and graphite, France, 18th century, Greek myth was popular among French Neoclassical painters, particularly obscure scenes like this one, which allowed the artist to invent an entirely new image This drawing represents a scene from Homer's Iliad, when the messenger goddess Iris was sent by Zeus to warn Athena and Hera not to help the Greeks in the war against Troy.
