The scene depicts an intense moment in Greek mythology, where Codros (or Codrus), the king of Athens, learns from an oracle that victory in the war between the Dorians and Athenians would belong to those whose leader is killed. In a selfless act of bravery and sacrifice, Codros chooses to offer himself as the sacrificial lamb. He willingly throws himself into the midst of battle, seeking death amidst chaos.
