Oh wow, I know this museum well. This and a couple other Greek vases at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon first planted the idea for this game in 2007 (what if you used THIS art style for a game). Kept notes, but didn't start working on it in earnest until 2011.
@classicstober.bsky.social Day 22 of #ClassicsTober25: Judge. The Judgement of Paris Amphora is an Attic black-figure amphora. It is held by the Musée des beaux-arts de Lyon and is attributed to the London B76 Painter, active at Athens in the second quarter of the sixth century BC. #ClassicsTober

As part of my research for this project I've taken many photos of Greek vases and other artefacts. I've decided to share some of these images as public domain CC0. They can be found here: www.ninjadodo.net/temp/hellas/...
