EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pergamon Altar, a magnificent masterpiece of Hellenistic art, stands as a testament to the grandeur and cultural sophistication of ancient Pergamon in Asia Minor during the second century BC. Commissioned by Eumenes II Soter, this colossal altar was built to honor the gods and showcase the artistic prowess of the Pergamon school. The altar's intricate decorative sculptures, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, depict various divinities and mythological figures. Among these, the tritons and Poseidon are particularly noteworthy. Tritons, half-human, half-fish creatures, are depicted playing musical instruments and engaging in various activities, symbolizing the power and control of the sea. Poseidon, the god of the sea, is portrayed in a majestic pose, seated on a throne, holding a trident, and surrounded by sea creatures. This marble sculpture group, with its lifelike details and dynamic poses, exemplifies the artistic techniques and innovations of the Hellenistic period. The altar's interior, adorned with limestone and marble, further enhances its grandeur and significance as a monument to the gods and the cultural achievements of ancient Pergamon. The Pergamon Altar, a symbol of the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece, continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the museum, offering a glimpse into the artistic and cultural world of the ancient Greeks and the Hellenistic age.
