What comes to mind immediately, of course, is the Achaeans' mission to Achilleus described by Homer in Book IX of the Iliad and illustrated by the Kleophrades Painter on his hydria in Munich, inv. 8770 (Paralip. 341, 73 bis; Addenda 189). The problem with this identification, as others have recognized (see Ashmead, Hesperia 35, 1966, p. 29; A. ... Hellström, "Achilles in Retirement," Medelhavsmuseet [The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm] 25, 1990, pp. 19--31), is that a woman should not be present, at least not as we know it from Homer and from the representations (see LIMC I, pp. 106--114).
