Imagine that the graceful youths and maidens
who adorn this splendid vase represent real
people, citizens of the ancient world. What
passions and ambitions moved them? What
dreams of love, happiness and success might
have possessed them? We can see that, except
for their costumes, they hardly differ in
appearance from men and women today. Could
their hopes and dreams have been all that
different either?
