The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping
Return to the world of Panem 24 years before the saga of Katniss Everdeen for the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
What it is made of
The source
Gods, Monsters and Meanders
The archaic gorgoneion seen head-on: tongue out, fangs, snakes knotted at the belt. Unicursal labyrinths from coinage, square and circular, and the meander fret that spawns them. Plus a very specific repertoire of scenes: the eagle at Prometheus's liver, Cerberus with two heads rather than three, Charon leaning on the pole of his boat, the spindle and the cut thread of the Moirai, the frontal owl with its crescent moon and the letters ΑΘΕ, the laurel crown and the fluted Doric shaft with no base.
Rome and the Arena
Smooth, rounded secutor helmets with two minute holes for the eyes; Thracian helmets topped with a griffin crest and a Medusa on the brow; greaves engraved with Jupiter, Neptune and Minerva; the retiarius's net and trident; the curved sica; the manica of leather wound round the arm. Around them, the oval of the amphitheatre seen from above, the hypogeum lying open like a honeycomb. And the lettering: beside each gladiator's name on the mosaics, a VICIT or a mark of death.
