EDITORS COMMENTS
Drawn by the Devotion of Their Boys: A Classical Illustration of Cleobis and Bito from the Ancient Greek Tale 'Harry and Herodotus' or 'Tales of an Old Traveller' This illustration depicts the heartwarming story of Cleobis and Bito, two devoted sons from ancient Greece. The image, set in the classical era, shows the boys in a yoke, pulling their mother's chariot towards the Temple of Juno. The mother, a priestess, is seated gracefully in the chariot, her serene expression reflecting her piety. The reason for their extraordinary effort is not due to oxen that have failed to return from the fields, but rather an act of devotion and love. According to the legend, the goddess Juno had granted a wish to the boys' mother: that she would be the one to die when her sons reached adulthood, sparing them the grief of burying their mother before they had grown. True to her word, Juno took the life of the mother when Cleobis and Bito came of age. Moved by their mother's selflessness and devotion, the boys, in turn, offered their own lives to the goddess as a sacrifice. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of the tale, with the boys' unwavering commitment to their mother and their faith in the gods. The scene is set against the backdrop of ancient Greek architecture, with columns and statues adding to the timeless beauty of the image. This illustration, a testament to the power of love and devotion, continues to captivate audiences and remains a cherished piece of classical art.
