Menelaus and Patroclus or Ajax and Achilles?[edit]

In Andrew Stewart's Art in the Hellenistic World, he writes "Formerly thought to be Menelaos carrying the dead Patroklos out of battle, now it is usually identified as Ajax and Achilles because of the dead warrior's youth and prominent chest wound. A version on a late Roman bronze plaque certainly represents Ajax and Achilles (because Odysseus follows them, as in the story of Achilles' death), and the group also appears in Roman contexts as a pendant to one showing Achilles supporting the dying Penthesileia..." (pg. 119). Should this page be changed to reflect this new understanding of the sculpture? Rmmiller364 (talk) 17:52, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When you see this text on a Wikipedia mirror and think "aha! copyright violation" do look at the Page History to see how I emended my text in putting it together; you'll avoid a gaffe like this one, or this one. Thank you. --Wetman (talk) 12:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
