Suggestions of video games resembling ancient Greek/Roman paintings in visual style?

Apotheon comes to mind.
- This is what I would suggest. Very unique art style and still memorable all these years later.
- I had no idea this existed and I can't believe I never heard of it when it's so unique! Is it actually a good game, too?
  
  It has been quite a while since I played it, but I remember it being pretty good but with a combat system that takes some getting used to.
Rock of Ages jumps out as an obvious one for me.
One area of The Talos Principle is set in Greco-Roman ruins. It captues a very specific tone. The puzzles are fun too
Any of the Joe Richardson games are obvious picks.
Four Last Things
A Procession of Cavalry
Death of the Reprobate

The style I suspect that you're thinking of, if you're talking about the stuff on pottery, is one of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-figure_pottery
- That, or maybe something like Roman frescoes or mosaics:
