“Then the son of Oileus severed the head from the neck in revenge for the death of Anphimachus, and sent it whirling over the crowd as though it had been a ball, till it fell in the dust at Hector’s feet.”

Yes, this is very standard. It’s the Trojan princess and priestess, Kassandra, who spurned Apollo and was cursed so that her prescience would never be believed. It must have had special meaning to the owner of the ring, but sometimes it’s just about a famous scene, well known in ancient art.
Fresco depicting Ajax the Lesser dragging Cassandra from the Palladium in view of Priam. From room 4 of the house of Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus (“House of Menander”). Fourth style. 60—79 CE. Pompeii, Archaeological Park, House of Menander (I, 10, 4, wing) Photo: Ilya Shurygin Pottery: red-figured hydria. Depicted on this hydria is the rape of Kassandra by the lesser Ajax, son of Oileus, in Athena's temple at Troy. In the centre, the Trojan princess Kassandra kneels on the base of the statue of Athena, the Palladion. Her hair is loose and her drapery hangs from her left shoulder, leaving her upper body bare. She embraces the statue with both arms. An oinochoe lies below her on the base. Pallas Athena is portrayed wearing a peplos and carrying a shield on her left arm and a spear in her raised right hand. She wears an elaborate helmet to which feathers are attached. At the left, the Greek warrior Ajax seizes Kassandra by her hair. Ajax is nude except for a chlamys tied in front with a bulky, round brooch. On his head is a crested Corinthian helmet with added large feathers. His left foot is on the base of Athena's statue, and he raises a sword in his right hand. A phiale hangs above his head, part of the temple's ritual equipment. Two other phialai appear in the field to the right and left above the subordinate figures. 340-320 BCE. Made in Campania, found in Nola. British Museum, London (1824,0501.35)

A small checkered-skipper butterfly is covered in fine dew, perched in profile atop a dry, fuzzy, tan stalk of wild grass against a solid black background, revealing the underside of its folded wings, an intricate mosaic pattern of cream, white, and soft brown bars. Its compact body is covered in fluffy white and brown hairs, and other notable details include its large, dark compound eye, striped antennae, and delicate legs.

The fuzzy bluish scales on the wings and abdomen identify this as a Tropical Checkered-skipper!
