Description
English: Wrapped in a flowing red cape, the warrior Meleager thrusts his spear into the shoulder of a massive boar. His beloved, the huntress Atalanta, stands behind Meleager, with bow in hand. Beneath the imposing hooves of the boar lie the disemboweled carcass of a hound and the prostrate corpse of the hunter Ancaeus.
