Alcistis takes Admetus place



Admetus had won the help of Apollo, who would help him several times. He had also helped Admetus to win the hand of Alcistis. When the Fates had decided it was his time, Apollo persuaded them to prolong his life. They agreed on condition someone else would take willingly his place. His elderly parents (in the background) had refused and now Alcistis takes willingly his place.
