EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment from Greek mythology - the meeting between Theseus and his father, Aegeus. In this engraving from 1890, created by an unknown artist, we see Aegeus, the king of Athens, engaging in conversation with his son. Aegeus appears regal and powerful as he sits on a throne-like chair, dressed in semi-naked attire that symbolizes his authority. His bare chest is adorned with intricate patterns that reflect his status as monarch. Meanwhile, Theseus stands before him respectfully, holding a sword at his side. The image exudes a sense of tension and anticipation as these two figures discuss matters of great importance. It is said that Aegeus sought to test Theseus' strength and courage before revealing their true relationship as father and son. The setting for this encounter is an opulent interior filled with books and artifacts that signify knowledge and wisdom. The attention to detail in this illustration transports us back to ancient Greece, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich history. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Greek mythology and the complex relationships between fathers and sons throughout time.
