ReplyDeleteThe painting of the woman with her ear to the wall is not Khione, but, is in fact, Thisbe. The myth of Thisbe is about her and her lover Pyramus who loved each other but were not allowed to. Since they lived next to each other in connected houses.
ReplyDeleteSo this painting depicts Thisbe talking with Pyramus through a crack or hole in the wall.

3. "Puts her to sleep and seduces her" Not good wording, too romanticized for what it actually was (rape)
