- The image I found depicts Nymphs playing the flute and lyre before Apollo.
2. The scene depicts nymphs playing the flute and lyre before Apollo. The scene was engraved after the original by Piringer. The picture was found on Britannica Image Quest when I searched for Ancient Greece vases. The website did not provide a title for the work, however the picture is credited to De Agostini picture library.
3. I found the image above to be significant to our discussion of Rhetoric because in the photo, the nymphs are enticing Apollo with their songs. Rhetoric is all about the power of persuasion and in this image I can tell that he enjoys the song being played because it is dedicated to him or being played for him. Also, music is a form of rhetoric as well, the melody from the instruments may sound lovely and quite enticing to listen to.
4. I chose this image because I was immediately drawn to the fact that it was simple in design and only contained three people. I immediately thought that each person could represent one of the three main parts of rhetoric: ethos, pathos, and logos. Also, I noticed that one woman stands before Apollo while the other sits. The woman standing wears clothing too revealing, but stands tall and proud that she as a woman stands before a man, who happens to be a god. While the other appears to be quite modest in dress and humbles herself before him.
