EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of classical mythology, we witness a pivotal moment from the epic tale of the Trojan War, as depicted in Virgil's "Aeneid." The mighty Greek hero Achilles, renowned for his invulnerability and fierce battle prowess, overpowers his Trojan foe, Aeneas. With a triumphant sneer, Achilles raises his sword, ready to dispatch the vanquished hero to the underworld. Yet, just as the fate of Aeneas hangs in the balance, the god of the sea, Poseidon, intervenes. Poseidon, moved by compassion for Aeneas and the destiny that awaited him, leaps into the fray to protect the Trojan hero. With a mighty roar, the god of the sea grabs Achilles by the ankles, lifting him off his feet and tossing him aside. Aeneas, momentarily stunned but grateful for the divine intervention, seizes the opportunity to escape. This heroic scene is a testament to the intricate web of mythology and history that intertwines the Trojan War and the founding of Rome. Aeneas, the eventual founder of the Roman dynasty through his sons Romulus and Remus, was fated to survive the war and carry on the lineage of the great Trojan hero Hector. The intervention of Poseidon not only saved Aeneas' life but also played a crucial role in the shaping of Western civilization. This evocative print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient mythology and its enduring impact on history. The image, with its dynamic composition and intricate details, invites us to explore the depths of these timeless stories and the lessons they hold for us today.
