EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Greek mythology, the daughters of Cecrops, the early king of Athens, are depicted in a state of shock and terror as they jump off the Acropolis in fear. The cause of their sudden panic is the mysterious figure of Erichthonius, the snake-child, who has just emerged from a sacred box they were instructed never to open. According to the myth, Cecrops had given the daughters the box as a gift, warning them sternly not to peek inside. Intrigued and curious, they disobeyed their father's orders and opened the box, releasing Erichthonius, who was born from the earth and was covered in serpents. The sight of the snake-child was enough to send the daughters into a frenzy, causing them to leap off the Acropolis in terror. Erichthonius was not an ordinary child; he was the offspring of the god Hephaestus and the goddess Athena. He was destined to become the next king of Athens, but his unusual appearance and the circumstances of his birth made him an outcast in the eyes of the other Athenians. The myth of Erichthonius and the daughters of Cecrops is a fascinating tale of curiosity, disobedience, and the consequences of breaking the trust of those in power. It is also a reminder of the importance of respecting the wishes of those who have given us gifts or entrusted us with their belongings. This historical print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of ancient Greek mythology, transporting us back in time to a world of gods, heroes, and mythical creatures. The image captures the essence of the myth, with the daughters' expressions of fear and shock, and the serene yet ominous presence of Erichthonius, the snake-child, emerging from the box.
