EDITORS COMMENTS
In Eleusis, Triptolem embarks on a momentous journey as he prepares to ascend the wheeled throne. With a scepter grasped firmly in one hand and ears of wheat held delicately in the other, he stands poised for his divine mission. Before him stand the goddesses Demeter and Core-Persephone, each bearing their own symbolic tools of power. Demeter, with her plow in hand, represents the teachings she bestows upon mankind - the art of cultivation and agriculture. Triptolem is entrusted with spreading wheat across the land, ensuring sustenance for all. Core-Persephone holds two torches that illuminate his path, guiding him through darkness towards prosperity. This scene unfolds on an Attic crater adorned with intricate red figures by the renowned painter of Hector from 430 BC. Housed within the Cabinet des medailles at B. N. Paris, this ancient artifact serves as a testament to Greek mythology's enduring influence. The image captures not only mythical characters but also echoes themes of botanical abundance and agricultural practices prevalent in ancient Greece. It showcases how these elements were intertwined with daily life during that era. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture immortalizes this pivotal moment where myth meets reality; where gods impart wisdom and humans embark on transformative journeys.
