About this image

"Her face is worthy indeed even for Achilles to die for it."
[Digna quidem facies, pro qua uel obiret Achilles.]
Propertius, Elegies, Book II, Elegy 3, line 39 [uret et Eoos, uret et Hesperios: to inflame East & West.]

"She approached the king directly and in the presence of altars she said, "I am handing over this girl to you, O king, the full sister 
of my Achilles —don’t you see how dark her eyes are, just like her brother? She's a fiery girl, who has always tried to carry weapons 
and a bow across her shoulders and to shun marriage in the style of an Amazon."
[Protinus adgreditur regem atque ibi testibus aris "Hanc tibi" ait "nostri germanam, rector, Achillis —nonne vides ut torva genas 
aequandaque fratri? —tradimus. arma umeris arcumque animosa petebat ferre et Amazonio conubia pellere ritu.]
Publius Papinius Statius, The Achilleid, Book I, lines 349–53.

"The two generals greeted each other warmly, but wasted no time upon the greeting. They stood facing each other, some thirty feet from 
where I lay, Lee's left side and back toward me, Jackson's right and front. Jackson began talking in a jerky, impetuous way, meanwhile 
drawing a diagram on the ground with the toe of his right boot. He traced two sides of a triangle with promptness and decision; then 
starting at the end of the second line, began to draw a third projected toward the first. This third line he traced slowly and with hesitation, 
alternately looking up at Lee's face and down at his diagram, meanwhile talking earnestly; and when at last the third line crossed the first 
and the triangle was complete, he raised his foot and stamped it down with emphasis, saying, "We've got him;" then signalled for his horse, 
and when he came, vaulted awkwardly into the saddle and was off. Lee watched him a moment, the courier brought his horse, he mounted, 
and he and his staff rode away.
The third line was never drawn—so we never "got" McClellan."
Robert Stiles, Four Years Under Marse Robert, Chapter VIII. Seven Pines And The Seven Day's Battles, Neale, 1903, p. 99.
