Title: Italy, Naples Museum, from Pompeii, House of the Tragic Poet (VII, 8, 3), Zeus and Hera Wedding

Caption: Italy, Naples Museum, from Pompeii, House of the Tragic Poet (VII, 8, 3), Zeus and Hera Wedding . This scene represents what for ancients was the most sacred wedding of all, between Zeus and Hera, a majestic figure in a peplos that is as substantial and imposing as a Doric column. The Erotes, in the bottom right corner, allude to the romantic aspect of the event, while the goddess is accompanied by a winged spirit who may personify Mount Ida, where the wedding took place.
