THE SACK OF TROY; KYLIX BY BRYGOS IN LOUVRE. ]
------------------------------------------------------
Among the various adventures described by the Cyclic poets in the Νοστοί, few seem to have found their way into the vase-paintings except the fate of Agamemnon, the interview of Menelaos with Proteus (told in the _Odyssey_), and, of course, the adventures of Odysseus.
The house of Atreus and its story will be dealt with later under the heading of the Oresteia: we turn now to the =Odyssey=, scenes from which are surprisingly few in Greek art, and appear to have attracted the painter less than the more stirring events of the _Iliad_. The following, however, have been identified:
Book III. 12 ff. Arrival of Telemachos at Nestor’s house in Pylos.
