"Achilles and the Daughters of Lycomedes" is a 1656 painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work of art depicts a scene from Greek mythology, specifically the episode where Achilles is discovered among the daughters of King Lycomedes of Skyros. According to the myth, Achilles' mother, Thetis, fearing for her son's life in the Trojan War, hides him on Skyros in the court of Lycomedes, disguised as a woman. However, the hero Odysseus cleverly reveals Achilles' identity by placing weapons among gifts for the king's daughters, and Achilles instinctively grabs a spear and shield, thus betraying his true nature as a warrior.

Poussin, known for his classical approach to painting and his emphasis on clarity, order, and harmony, presents this narrative with a strong focus on composition and the idealized forms of the figures, characteristic of his mature style. The painting is a testament to Poussin's mastery in handling mythological subjects, imbuing them with a sense of drama and emotional resonance while maintaining a structured and balanced arrangement.

The artwork is significant in Poussin's oeuvre as it exemplifies his intellectual approach to painting and his ability to convey complex stories through art. "Achilles and the Daughters of Lycomedes" is not only a representation of a mythological event but also a reflection of Poussin's engagement with themes of identity, disguise, and revelation. The painting's historical and artistic value has been recognized by art historians and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the Baroque period and its influence on subsequent generations of artists.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been exhibited and analyzed in various art historical contexts. It remains an important example of Poussin's work and of 17th-century French painting.
