It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!
Red-figure #VasePainting of #Ares and the #Dioskuroi in the #Gigantomachy. The god and demi-gods attack the gigantes whose backs are turned to us, a major innovation of this vase painting.
Dated to ca. 400 BCE.

It's the Day of Helios / Sol's Day / #Sunday!
A rare vase painting of #Helios on what is likely an Apulian funery vase. The sun god is driving his quadriga, his chariot pulled by four horses. He wears a sunray crown and aureola of light around his head.
350-340 BCE, today in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, #Hamburg
