EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library depicts the tragic tale of Cassandra and the Horse, a scene straight out of classical mythology. In this image, we see the seer Cassandra in a state of desperation as she foresees the disastrous fate that awaits Troy with the arrival of the infamous Trojan Horse. Cassandra's anguish is palpable as she struggles to convey her warnings to those around her, knowing all too well that no one will believe her prophetic visions. Despite her best efforts to prevent impending doom, it seems that fate has already been sealed by the gods themselves. The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to ancient times, where myths and legends intertwined with historical events. The tension between destiny and free will is evident in Cassandra's expression, reflecting the eternal struggle between mortal desires and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of storytelling and how these timeless tales continue to resonate with audiences across generations. Mary Evans Prints Online has expertly preserved this moment from antiquity for us to ponder and reflect upon, inviting us to delve deeper into the complexities of human nature and our relationship with higher powers.
