Titolo A new mosaic from Menander's Samia (and an old relief) Periodico Prometheus Anno: 2014 - Volume: 40 - Pagina iniziale: 111 - Pagina finale: 114
As shown by Green, the new Brindisi mosaic represents a scene of Menander’s Samia. However, Demeas is not entreating Chrysis, but expelling her, as in a Mytilene mosaic, in a Louvre relief and a wall-painting from Pompeii. No entreaty scene was in Menander’s Samia. The Naples relief represents probably Chrysis’ escape from Nikeratos’ house in the fourth act of the play.
