EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the solemn moment of Pausanias making a sacrifice to the goddess Hera before the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. The scene is filled with symbolism and significance as Pausanias, a key figure in ancient Greek history, seeks divine favor and protection for his army.
The image shows Pausanias standing at an altar, surrounded by priests and a flock of sheep ready for sacrifice. The tension and anticipation before the battle are palpable as Pausanias bows his head in prayer, invoking the blessings of Hera, the queen of the gods.
The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, from the intricate engravings on the altar to the expressions on each character's face. The sense of reverence and devotion is evident in every line and shading.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Greek history. The impending clash between Greece and Persia looms large, but here, in this quiet ritualistic scene, we see faith and tradition guiding Pausanias as he prepares for battle.
This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring connection to spirituality and belief in times of struggle. It encapsulates both the fragility and strength inherent in our quest for divine intervention during moments of crisis.
