Schlacht der Griechen und Troianer

Description
-
This engraving illustrates the pure chaos of the first battle between the Greeks and the Trojans. This battle signifies the beginning of the Trojan war, as it is the first encounter the two armies have with one another. Protesilaus is the first Greek to step onto the shores of Troy, as well as the first to die. He is most likely one of the men in the forefront of the engraving who are depicted to have been slain.
