EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning mural painting titled "Orpheus. Slain by the Bacchantes," located within the hallowed halls of the Library of Congress, specifically in the Thomas Jefferson Building. Painted by the renowned American artist Walter McEwen in 1920, this mural is part of a larger series of Greek Heroes that adorn the walls of this historic institution. Orpheus, a legendary figure from ancient Greece, is depicted in this masterpiece as he meets his tragic end at the hands of the Bacchantes, also known as the Maenads, Bassarids, or Bacchae. Orpheus, a skilled musician and poet, was famed for his ability to charm even the gods with his music. However, his greatest feat was descending into the underworld to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice. He was successful in bringing her back, but on the condition that he not look back at her until they had both reached the surface. Alas, Orpheus succumbed to temptation and looked back, causing Eurydice to be lost to him forever. The Bacchantes, inspired by the god Dionysus, the god of wine, revelry, and ecstasy, were enraged by Orpheus' infidelity to their god. They hunted him down and tore him limb from limb, ending his heroic life. This mural painting, with its intricate ornate details and symbolic figures, is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the heroic tales that have shaped Western civilization. It is a must-see for anyone visiting the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., USA.
