EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman relief depicting the powerful goddess Hecate and Giants. Created by the skilled artists of the renowned school of Pergamum, this ancient sculpture beautifully captures the essence of Roman mythology and religion. Hecate, known as the triple goddess, holds immense significance in ancient folklore. As the deity of the lower world, magic, ghosts, and witchcraft, she was both revered and feared by many. The offerings made to her at crossroads included honey, dogs, and black lambs – symbols representing devotion and protection. Located within Vatican City in Rome, this remarkable piece of art transports us back to an era where belief in gods shaped daily life. The intricate details on this relief highlight not only Hecate's divine presence but also showcase her connection with giants – mythical creatures often depicted as formidable adversaries. As we gaze upon this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of how art can preserve history while simultaneously evoking a sense of wonder. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient stories continue to captivate our imagination and provide insight into past civilizations' beliefs and practices.
