En "El Banquete" de Platón se habla del amor y se cita a Alcestis: una mujer que acepta morir por su esposo. Para los griegos, ese gesto la convierte en ejemplo supremo de amor verdadero. #Platón #ElBanquete #Alcestis

Here on the right-hand side of the #sarcophagus front, #Alcestis is given leave by #Hades to leave the Underworld with #Hercules, to be reunited with #Admetus. This triumph over death is closely tied to the cult of the #MagnaMater, of whom Metilia Acte was a priestess.
SARCOPHAGUS OF EUHODUS AND METILIA ACTE, 161-170 CE. VATICAN MUSEUMS This sarcophagus, found at Ostia in 1825, was commissioned, as the inscription on the lid says, by C. Junius Euhodus of the tribe Palatina, five-year magistrate of the guild of carpenters at Ostia, for himself and his wife Metilia Acte, priestess of the Magna Mater at Ostia. It bears a rare depiction of the myth of Alcestis and Admetus. The latter, king of Pherae, was much in love with his wife Alcestis and vice versa. However he failed to sacrifice to Artemis at his wedding and was thus cursed to an early death. Apollo, Admetus' friend, convinced the Fates to let Admetus live if he could find someone else to take his place. His parents refused, but Alcestis agreed. Heracles, also a friend of Admetus, went to the Underworld, fought with Thanatos (Death), and convinced Hades and Persephone to let Alcestis go. Here we see the dying Alcestis at centre, holding the right hand of Admetus at left, with their two little children weeping below. Both the main figures have the faces of the deceased couple.
#SarcophagusSaturday finds us in the #VaticanMuseums, where an unusual #sarcophagus from #Ostia depicts a priestess of the #MagnaMater in the guise of the self-sacrificing #Alcestis, who is happily brought back from #Hades by #Hercules. 🧵
