Antique print titled 'Telephe Guéri par la Rouille (..)'.
This print depicts Telephus cured by the rust of the same spear that had wounded him. Telephos was one of the Heraclidae, the sons of Heracles, who were venerated as founders of cities. In the battle Achilles wounded Telephos. The wound would not heal and Telephos consulted the oracle of Delphi about it. The oracle responded in a mysterious way that 'he that wounded shall heal'. Telephos convinced Achilles to heal his wound in return for showing the Achaeans the way to Troy, thus resolving the conflict. This print originates from 'Tafereel, of Beschryving van den prachtigen Tempel der Zang-Godinnen' by B. Picart.
