This print vividly depicts their heated disagreement as they stand before a backdrop of ancient Greece. Their imposing figures symbolize not only their divine status but also the significance of this dispute for mankind. The artwork delves into themes of superstition, religion, and human nature itself. It reminds us of how ancient civilizations relied on myths and legends to explain natural phenomena and make sense of their world. The clash between these two deities represents humanity's eternal struggle with conflicting beliefs and ideas.
