The oath of King Menelaus. After the abduction of beautiful Elena by Paris, her distraught husband Menelaus, King of Sparta, vowed to return her at all costs , destroying Troy and killing all its inhabitans. This was the beginning of the long , grueling Trojan war, the sad end of which was predicted by the prophetess Cassandra. I drew her terracotta Hellinistic head in the right part of my work. On the left is the characteristic gesture of Menelaus' oath-offering on a dagger. In the center of the work is a cow's skull and a fragment of ancient Greek relief depicting scene from Trojan life . They convey the atmosphere of peace and kindness of this ancient city. The Crescent moon above Cassandra's head emphasizes that it was during the moon that she fell into clairvoyance.
