“It is a terrible curse to be this good-looking.” In Plautus’ comedy The Braggart Soldier, the vain officer Pyrgopolynices struts through Ephesus convinced that every woman in town is in love with him, while his hungry sidekick flatters him for a free meal. He became the model for every boastful soldier on the European stage. Here a marble head of a handsome young man sheds a single tear above a heap of love letters and roses.
