EDITORS COMMENTS
Comus, Themis, and Momus: A Triad of Greek Gods and the Spirit of Festivity, Divine Law, and Satire This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf after illustrations by Leonard Defraine, showcases the Greek gods Comus, Themis, and Momus in a captivating scene. The image, taken from Mythology in Prints, or Figures of Fabled Gods, published by Blanchard in Paris around 1820, is a testament to the richness and complexity of classical mythology. At the center of the composition stands Themis, the goddess of divine law and order. She is depicted as a mature, regal woman, holding a scale in one hand and a scepter in the other, symbolizing her role as the embodiment of justice. Her serene expression and the balanced composition of the engraving reflect the importance of order and harmony in the universe. To Themis' left, Momus, the god of satire and mockery, is shown with a sly smile and a pointed finger. Momus is often depicted as the source of criticism and ridicule, and his presence adds an element of playfulness and lightheartedness to the scene. To Themis' right, Comus, the god of revelry and festivity, is depicted as a young, joyful figure, holding a cup of wine and a mask. Comus is the embodiment of the spirit of celebration and merriment, and his presence serves to balance the more serious aspects of Themis' justice and Momus' satire. The intricate details of the engraving, the vibrant colors, and the skillful use of shading all contribute to a visually stunning representation of these ancient deities. This image offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, inviting us to explore the complexities of these gods and the roles they played in the lives of the ancient Greeks.
