This detail of an Attic black figure vase shows Heracles killing the Nemean lion. With its head twisted back, its flailing paw & its startled eye, it’s a brutal image. This was Heracles’ first labour and where he acquired his distinctive lionskin cloak.

The Treasury of Atreus is a large tholos tomb constructed c. 1300 BC in Mycenae.
The tomb is a large circular burial chamber, and was named after Atreus, the father of Agamemnon and Menelaus.
I'm so excited to visit Mycenae next week with a group of Classics Academy students ❤️🏛

This goat’s head rhyton (or drinking vessel) is from late C4th BC southern Italy.
I can’t be the only person looking at this thinking ‘must have one, must have one, must have one’. It would be ace to quaff laughing juice from this on a warm summer evening. Baa!
