ACHILLES


«As a fire raging in some mountain glen after long drought - and the dense forest is in a blaze, while the wind carries great tongues of fire in every direction - even so furiously did Achilles rage, wielding his spear as though he were a god, and giving chase to those whom he would slay, till the dark earth ran with blood.»

 

                                                

                                                                                                       


Scene no 54: The fearsome son of Peleus on his chariot (Athena plastic toy soldiers), scatters the Trojans (Britains Herald plastic figures, all different poses of Trojans) among the plants (Athena plastic palm foliage).
