EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in ancient Greek history - the Congress of the Peloponnesian States in Sparta, held in 432 BC. Illustrated by A. C. Weatherstone and featured in Hutchinson's History of the Nations from 1915, this lithograph provides us with a glimpse into an important political gathering. At the request of Corinth, the Spartans summoned members of the Peloponnesian League to voice their grievances against Athens during this assembly. The debate was attended by representatives from various city-states within the league, as well as a delegation from Athens. The image showcases men dressed in traditional Greek attire, reflecting their roles as members of this legislative body. Their serious expressions convey the weightiness of their discussions and decisions that would shape future events. The congress became particularly notable for its heated exchange between Athenians and Corinthians. This clash between two powerful states exemplified tensions within Greece at that time and foreshadowed the outbreak of war just three years later - known today as the Peloponnesian War. As we observe this historic scene through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how politics has always played a pivotal role throughout human civilization. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient Greece and its impact on shaping our modern world.
