Achilles sacrificing twelve captured Trojans on the grave of his lover, Patroklos/Patroclus

 Further to my last post, Karel sent this to me overnight. It is a clearer picture of the photos of the frescoes that I posted and shows a grief-stricken and revengeful Achilles actually slitting the throat of a Trojan prisoner on the grave of his lover, Patroklos while the next naked prisoner looks on knowing he is to share this fate imminently.

      Thank you for your comment. Yes "psychopomp" is a wonderful term.

      Many religions had/have "psychopompoi" in the form of creatures, spirits, angels, etc to guide the newly-dead into the Underworld. They weren't judges of the dead and served only as guides and aren't to be confused with the Lord of the Underworld known to the Etruscans as Aita.

      Charun was a psychopomp who it is said enjoyed violence, warfare and natural disasters.

      Charun is often portrayed with the winged goddess of the Underworld, Vanth as can be seen in the fresco.
