EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant artifact from ancient Greece - a lead tablet discovered at the Sanctuary of Zeus in Dodona. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this remarkable piece bears an inscription in Corinthian Boustrophodon script. The tablet tells the story of Hermon, who seeks guidance on which god he should pray to for having children with his wife Kretaia. Against a striking black background, the image captures every intricate detail of this metal tablet. Its weathered surface and faded color evoke a sense of timelessness, transporting us back to an era long gone. Displayed at the Ioannina Museum in Epirus, Greece, this artifact holds immense historical and cultural significance. It offers insight into family life during ancient times and sheds light on people's beliefs and practices surrounding fertility and divine intervention. The lead tablet serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the distant past, reminding us of our shared human experiences across centuries. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and oracle traditions that were integral parts of ancient Greek society. Through this evocative photograph, we are invited to contemplate not only the materiality but also the intangible aspects that connect us with our ancestors - their hopes, dreams, fears, and aspirations for future generations.
