EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact known as the Stele, grave marker, of a youth and little girl with capital. Created around 530 BC by Greek artisans, this marble sculpture stands at an impressive height of 423.4 cm and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The stele depicts a young man portrayed as an athlete, his muscular physique exuding strength and grace. Suspended from his wrist is an aryballos, an oil flask commonly used by athletes during that era. The inscription on the monument suggests that the youth's name may have been Megakles, associated with the influential Alkmeonidai clan who opposed tyrant Peisistratos during the sixth century BC. Accompanying him on this funerary marker is a little girl whose identity remains unknown but adds to the enigmatic allure of this piece. The capital and finial atop the stele take on the form of a sphinx, further emphasizing its connection to ancient Greek mythology. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this sculpture offers us a glimpse into classical Greece's rich history and culture. It serves as both a solemn tribute to those who have passed away and a testament to human artistic achievement throughout antiquity.
