In this scene, the god Apollo leads the Trojan hero Hector into battle, using his aegis to scatter the Greek forces. Flaxman, known for his elegant line drawings, captures the heroic and divine aspects of the narrative with simplicity and clarity.

The figures are rendered in a neoclassical style, with an emphasis on clean lines and balanced composition.

The fluidity of the figures and the sense of motion reflect the dynamic energy of the epic tale.
