About this clipart
This black-and-white line drawing reproduces a classical Athenian red-figure vase painting, likely from the mid-5th century BCE, showing Oedipus in traveler’s garb (petasos hat, chlamys cloak, and krepis sandals) engaging the winged Sphinx, who crouches on a fluted column. The composition is framed by a meander (Greek key) border and floral motifs, with inscribed letters above hinting at dialogue or divine presence. The Sphinx’s hybrid form-lion body, human head, eagle wings-emphasizes her role as a liminal guardian of Thebes.
Used in educational, museum, or academic web pages about Greek mythology, vase painting, or Sophoclean tragedy; serves users seeking visual references for Oedipus myth, iconography, or ancient art analysis.
