Sperlonga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The villa included a grotto where some noteworthy sculptures, now housed in the museum and inspired to Homer's Odyssey, have been found: these portrayed the assault od Scylla to Ulysses' ship, the blinding of Polyphemus, the robbing of the Palladius and Ulysses lifting Achilles's corpse. |
 | | The works have been attributed to Rhodian sculptors Hegesandros, Athenedoros, and Polydoros, also authors of the famous group of Laocoön and his Sons. |
 | | The most ancient church is that of Santa Maria (early 12th century), currently closed for restorations which have disclosed the presence of precious mediaeval mosaics. |
