He stood in a little room\u003cbr\u003ewith three smooth walls. The fourth side was open upon a court. A little\u003cbr\u003efountain splashed there. Above stretched the brilliant sky of Italy. The\u003cbr\u003eAugust sun shone hotly down. It cut sharp shadows of the columns on the\u003cbr\u003ecement floor. This was the master's room. The artist was painting the\u003cbr\u003ewalls. Two were already gay with pictures. They showed the mighty deeds\u003cbr\u003eof warlike Herakles. Here was Herakles strangling the lion, Herakles\u003cbr\u003ekilling the hideous hydra, Herakles carrying the wild boar on his\u003cbr\u003eshoulders, Herakles training the mad horses. But now the boy was\u003cbr\u003epainting the best deed of all--Herakles saving Alcestis from death. He\u003cbr\u003ehad made the hero big and beautiful. The strong muscles lay smooth in\u003cbr\u003ethe great body. One hand trailed the club. On the other arm hung the\u003cbr\u003efamous lion skin. With that hand the god led Alcestis. He turned his\u003cbr\u003ehead toward her and smiled. On the ground lay Death, bruised and\u003cbr\u003ebleeding. One batlike black wing hung broken. He scowled after the hero\u003cbr\u003eand the woman. In the sky above him stood Apollo, the lord of life,\u003cbr\u003elooking down. But the picture of the god was only half finished. The\u003cbr\u003efigure was sketched in outline. Ariston was rapidly laying on paint with\u003cbr\u003ehis little brushes. His eyes glowed with Apollo's own fire. His lips\u003cbr\u003ewere open, and his breath came through them pantingly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"O god of beauty, god of Hellas, god of freedom, help me!\" he half\u003cbr\u003ewhispered while his brush worked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor he had a great plan in his mind. Here he was, a slave in this rich\u003cbr\u003eRoman's house. Yet he was a free-born son of Athens, from a family of\u003cbr\u003epainters. Pirates had brought him here to Pompeii, and had sold him as a\u003cbr\u003eslave. His artist's skill had helped him, even in this cruel land. For\u003cbr\u003ehis master, Tetreius, loved beauty. The Roman had soon found that his\u003cbr\u003eyoung Greek slave was a painter. He had said to his steward:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Let this boy work at the mill no longer. He shall paint the walls of my\u003cbr\u003eprivate room.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo he had talked to Ariston about what the pictures should be. The Greek\u003cbr\u003ehad found that this solemn, frowning Roman was really a kind man. Then\u003cbr\u003ehope had sprung up in his breast and had sung of freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I will do my best to please him,\" he had thought. \"When all the walls\u003cbr\u003eare beautiful, perhaps he will smile at my work. Then I will clasp his\u003cbr\u003eknees. I will tell him of my father, of Athens, of how I was stolen.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps he will send me home.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084422267120,"sku":"2940015513998","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015513998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
