EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in ancient Greek history - Clisthenes at the Olympic Games in 1890. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but it was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" by Edmund Ollier. Clisthenes, also known as Cleisthenes or Kleisthenes, was a renowned tyrant of Sicyon during the 6th century BC. This charismatic leader achieved great fame by winning the Olympics as a chariot racer. In this engraving, he is depicted bare-chested and looking back with determination on his horse-drawn chariot. The scene exudes an atmosphere of intense competition and historic significance. Dust kicks up from the road as Clisthenes races towards victory amidst cheering spectators lining the track. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, transporting us back to ancient Greece. This print not only captures a thrilling sporting event but also showcases the rich cultural heritage of Greece. It serves as a reminder of how sports have been an integral part of human civilization for centuries. Displaying this print would be perfect for anyone interested in ancient history or those who appreciate art that tells stories from long ago. Let it transport you to another era and inspire you with tales of triumph and perseverance at one of humanity's oldest athletic competitions – the Olympic Games.
