EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print depicts the mythological river Styx, as it was believed to flow down from the mountains of Greece into the underworld of Hades. The Styx was a significant body of water in Greek mythology, serving as the boundary between the living world and the realm of the dead. The river was renowned for its dark and ominous nature, earning the adjective 'Stygian' in poetry, which signifies a deep, hellish darkness. The image, created in 1856, captures the historical and cultural significance of the Styx River in ancient Greek mythology. The print shows the river winding its way through a rocky landscape, surrounded by trees and mountains, with a sense of mystery and otherworldliness that perfectly encapsulates the Stygian depths. The Styx was also famous for its role in Greek mythology as the river where the oaths of the gods were sworn. Those who broke their oaths would be punished by being bound to the river, where they would be tormented forever. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, and the enduring influence of its stories and legends. The Styx River continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for poets, artists, and scholars, and this print serves as a beautiful reminder of the power and allure of the ancient world. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a starting point for further exploration into Greek mythology, this print is sure to captivate and inspire.
