Shield of Achileus
Not sure if this is in the right forum, but I need help.
I'm suppose to draw a shield, just like the one Hephaistos made for Achileus in the Iliad, "The Arming of Achileus."
I have an okay idea of what goes on it:
5 folds on the shield. One for the creation (in which I chose the sun to symbolize), 2 cities - one peaceful with fields and festivals/musics, the other in war, with lions? The fourth is the Ocean, which is the outside of the shield, or does that not count?
What's the 5th?

Have you read the description of it in the Illiad? It is, as I recall, in book 18, lines 400-and-something through somewhere in the 600s. Sun, Moon & Stars.

- In the two cities, one is at war, the other is in peace (wedding celebration and justice being arrived at, as I recall).
- Then rural life.

Then images of the "riches" of life...celebration, cattle, harv
