EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Greek art: the representation of Hecate and Artemis on the frieze of the altar of Zeus at Pergamon. The low relief, created by Eumene II in the 2nd century BC, is now housed in the prestigious Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. The intricate carving depicts two mythological characters from ancient Greece - Hecate and Artemis. Standing side by side, they exude power and grace as they are frozen in time. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every delicate feature is meticulously crafted. Hecate, known as a goddess associated with magic and crossroads, emanates an aura of mystery. Her three faces symbolize her ability to see into past, present, and future simultaneously. On the other hand, Artemis radiates strength and determination as she holds her bow ready for battle. As one of the most revered goddesses in Greek mythology, she represents female empowerment and independence. The composition itself tells a story - perhaps it captures a significant moment during combat or highlights their divine connection within ancient Greek society. Regardless of its exact meaning or interpretation, this artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography beautifully captures this stunning relic from antiquity while preserving its historical value for generations to come.
