<<The Rape of Polyxena>> is a marble statue located in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy’s Piazza della Signoria. It was sculpted by Pio Fedi in 1868, but it was placed alongside several sculptures from the Renaissance, an immense compliment to his work. This scene is of the Greek hero Achilles’s abduction of Polyxena, the daughter of the King of Troy. Achilles has just killed two of Polyxena’s brothers and was about to carry their bodies away. Polyxena tries to stop him and offers herself in return of her brother’s body. Here Achilles is seen stepping over one of the dead brothers and carrying the damsel Polyxena away while her mother pleads and begs him to leave her daughter. Achilles does not. The story takes a turn after this event. Achilles has fallen in love with Polyxena and she reciprocates as well. He shares with her his only weakness- his heel. She is torn between her love and loyalty to her family.She chooses loyalty and tells her brother Paris about the great hero’s one weakness. Paris kills Achilles by shooting an arrow to his heel.
