A wonderful depiction of “The Death of Epaminondas” by Isaak Walraven executed before 1766. Epaminondas was the leader of the Theban Alliance who ended the domination of Sparta over Classical Greece. He was known throughout the Classical Age as the epitome of the good philosophical leader and lover of men. He died in 362 BCE after defeating the Athenians.
