EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to ancient Greece, specifically to the Olympic Games of 582 B. C. The image depicts Cleisthenes of Sicyon, a renowned athlete and charioteer, triumphantly winning the chariot race. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the incredible speed and skill displayed by these ancient competitors. The scene is filled with excitement as spectators cheer on Cleisthenes in his quest for victory. The intensity of the race is palpable, with horses thundering across the track and dust billowing behind them. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to human ambition and determination. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it represents not only an athletic competition but also a celebration of life itself. The Olympic Games were more than just games; they embodied the spirit and values of Hellenic society. As we admire this engraving, we are transported to an era where transportation relied on horse-drawn chariots rather than modern vehicles. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, humans possessed an innate desire for speed and adventure. This remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate both the beauty of ancient Greek culture and our shared fascination with athleticism throughout history.
