Summary/Abstract: The female image takes place as an aesthetic form in all aspects of the daily plastic arts from the Neolithic period. In the period from the early ages to the present day, the woman has been subjected to violence as a learned emotion from the inside and still remains today. In particular, the violence applied to women in our time continues to bear similarities to the ways in which civilizations, social life styles and practices of life, while maintaining their continuity, apply violence. For centuries, the artistic treatment of women, violence and sacrifice has continued to be processed with different techniques and forms without losing any aesthetic value. It is seen that the sacrificial scene of Polyksena was processed on ceramic surfaces since 525 BC. From various disciplines of plastic arts, 242 from the 14th century to the 21st century, she created a source of inspiration for artists. Polyksena, one of the main characters of the story at the end of the Trojan war, presents the myth of the tragic sacrificial women's stories as the most realistic way of working today.
