EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Greek Stele adorned with the fragmentary text of an agreement that transpired in the 5th century B. C. between Athena and Samo. The bas-relief on the upper part of this ancient artifact features the majestic figures of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, alongside Era, her divine counterpart. Located within Greece's Acropolis Museum, this Stele is a testament to Greek artistry and craftsmanship from centuries past. Its intricate carvings depict various elements such as trees, vegetation, lances, spears, draped garments, helmets, and shields - all symbolic representations deeply rooted in Greek mythology. Dating back to approximately 1920-1930 A. D. , this photograph captures not only the beauty of this archaeological find but also offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich ancient civilization. The artwork itself dates even further back to the 4th century B. C. , showcasing its enduring significance throughout history. The presence of female divinities like Athena (known as Minerva in Roman mythology) and Era (also known as Hera or Juno) adds an air of mystique to this already enchanting piece. Their powerful personas are beautifully captured within this image by Alinari Fratelli - renowned photographers who have skillfully preserved moments from our past for future generations to appreciate. As we delve into the world depicted by this photograph - filled with inscriptions etched onto stone tablets and mythical beings brought to life through artistic mastery - we gain insight into both ancient civilizations' beliefs and their reverence for deities like Athena and Era. In summary, Alinari's print immortalizes a remarkable moment frozen in time: a visual representation that unites history enthusiasts worldwide while celebrating Greece's cultural heritage.
