Paris and Helen depicted in the Roman fresco from the House of Jason (Casa di Giasone) in Pompeii (20-25 AD), now on display in the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) in Naples, Campania, Italy. Paris is depicted seated awaiting the prize promised to him by Aphrodite, and the Cupid on the door of the room points Helen out to him, urging him to take the step that will lead to the Trojan War.
