Tarentum (Modern Day Taranto) believed to depict scenes from Greek tragedy: at left Electra and Orestes, who murder their mother Clytemnestra in order to avenge their father, Agamemnon; Clytemnestra was motivated by Agamemnon taking the princess Cassandra as concubine, and by Agamemnon sacrificing their daughter Iphigenia.At right is Oedipus and Antigone; Oedipus was abandoned as an infant and adopted by a shepherd; he then unknowingly murdered his father and married his mother, siring children including Antigone. When Oedipus became aware of what he had done, he put out his own eyes in horror; his daughter here guides him.]]
