This Greek vase is called a Red Figure Krater, which reflects the firing technique Greeks used to create their pottery until the 3rd century BC. Medea is depicted killing her sons in this image, which specifically dates back to 340-320 BC. 

This picture of a hurricane symbolizes Esch at the end of the novel, both literally and metaphorically. Esch is the eye of the storm, the calm in the middle of chaos. Despite the destruction around her as a result of hurricane Katrina, (the death, starvation, and crumbling infrastructure) Esch has found a calm in herself. She becomes independent from Manny and realizes that she can mother her child regardless of the turmoil around her, just as the eye of a hurricane is a break in the storm unaffected by the heavy winds and rain surrounding it.
