"The Harpies and the Daughters of Pandarus" is a line drawing by British artist John Flaxman depicting a scene from Homer's *Iliad*, a Greek epic poem. The artwork depicts the daughters of Pandarus fleeing from the harpies, monstrous creatures with bird-like features and human bodies. The linework is characterized by its delicacy and precision, creating a sense of movement and drama. The image is a masterful example of Neoclassical style, referencing classical Greek and Roman art, making it a compelling work of art for those who appreciate Greek mythology and fine linework.
