Innocenzo Fraccaroli (1805–88), Death of Achilles, Villa Reale, Milan

Until the end of the line,Until our time has come.

Neither of them had ever form those words on their lips.Never did it ever occur to them to say it aloud.For they had always loved each other from the very beginning.The mighty prince that was prophesied, a son of a goddess.And the exiled prince, cast off for killing a boy.Fought together in the name of honor.For an endless, bloody, war about a prince who stole another prince’s bride.

Aristos achaion, died in his rage, desperate to avenge his philtatos.
