Then I don't understand this: I can never tell a long chiton from a peplos & probably would have used the latter term for this garment because...
I can't see detail in pix of sides well enough to really characterize them. Most of the time these scenes get the default label of 'Cupids'. On...
They are the same person: Odysseus is the Greek name; Ulysses is Roman. I'm not evaluating the iconographical accuracy of the depiction, just...
