EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hector saved by Apollo" we are transported to the epic world of The Children's Hour: Stories from the Classics. The image, beautifully captured in a color lithograph by Charles Edmund Brock, depicts a pivotal moment in Homer's Iliad. Amidst the chaos of the Trojan War battlefield, we witness Hector, a valiant hero adorned in his formidable armor. But it is not solely his mortal strength that will determine his fate on this day. Divine intervention takes center stage as Apollo, the god of prophecy and healing, descends upon him. The apparition of Apollo hovers above Hector with an ethereal glow surrounding him. With divine grace and power, he reaches out to save this noble warrior from impending doom. This scene serves as a reminder that even heroes require assistance beyond their mortal abilities. Brock's illustration skillfully captures both the intensity and vulnerability present on the battlefield. Through intricate details and masterful use of colors, he brings to life one of literature's most iconic moments. This print transports us back to ancient times when gods walked among men and battles were fought for honor and glory. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with heroic tales and our eternal quest for salvation amidst adversity. Displayed proudly within any collection or space dedicated to classical literature or art history enthusiasts alike, this print invites viewers into an immersive experience where legends come alive before their eyes.
