Fragment of a marble sarcophagus

These fragments depict the Caledonian boar-hunt. Myth has it that the goddess Artemis, angry with Oineus, kings of the Aetolians, sent the beast to devastate his land. Many heroes took part in the hunt, first among them the son of the king, Meleager, and the fearless huntress Atalanta. Here Meleager, riding his horse, is attacking the boar. The Arcadian hero Angaeus lies on the ground, mortally wounded by the boar. Atalanta is running in front of the horse. There are also hunters depicted with dogs. This is one of the so-called Attic sarcophagi.这些残片描绘了卡吕冬野猪狩猎的场景。据神话记载，狩猎女神阿尔忒弥斯（Artemis）因埃托利亚国王俄纽斯（Oineus）触怒自己，便派这头野猪蹂躏其领地。诸多英雄参与了此次狩猎，其中为首者当属国王之子墨勒阿革洛斯（Meleager）与无畏的女猎手阿塔兰忒（Atalanta）。画面中，骑在马上的墨勒阿革洛斯正向野猪发起攻击；阿卡迪亚英雄安伽俄斯（Angaeus）倒在地上，已被野猪重创致死；阿塔兰忒正奔至马前。此外，画面中还绘有携犬狩猎的其他猎手。此作品即为所谓的阿提卡式石棺（Attic sarcophagi）之一。
