In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature a privileged position was accorded to the depiction of nude Andromeda. In order to glorify Perseus' piety and restraint, she had to be an attractive woman, a counterpart of music, perfumes, food and drink and the other pleasures of the flesh. The ceiling painting proclaims that the Iustitia of the Brevnov monks firmly rests on a triad of moral virtues, Sapientia, Fortitudo and Temperantia. Into this ideological program the story of Perseus was embedded, the pagan hero being presented as a forerunner and alter ego of Blessed Guntherus. The old story celebrated the antiquity of the Brevnov monastery and its classical aura tied it with Rome and its imperial tradition.

The author relates his academic debuts in the 1970's and how, by studying Greek vases decoration, his point of view on the meaning of the images as symbolic works came across the anthropological problematic adopted by the members of Vernant's research team. So a rich collaboration between them started, all the more valuable since political normalization imposed by the regime was severely restricting working conditions for Czech archeologists.
