Fragment of a relief (perhaps part of the armrest of a ceremonial throne) from the island of Samothrace, depicting figures identified by inscriptions as Agamemnon, his herald Talthybius, and Epeius, builder of the Trojan Horse.  The scene is thought by some scholars to represent Agamemnon’s initiation into the mystery cult of the Cabeiri on Samothrace.  Artist unknown; ca. 560 BCE.  Now in the Louvre.
