EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, depicting the epic battle between Poseidon and Polybotes. The image captures the tondo of an Attic red-figure kylix, dating back to approximately 475-470 BC and discovered in Vulci, Etruria. In this intense scene, Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea and earthquakes, engages in a fierce struggle against Polybotes. With his muscular physique and trident firmly grasped in hand, Poseidon exudes power and determination as he confronts his adversary. The intricate details on this red-figure kylix bring life to the characters' expressions and movements. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its representation of Greek mythology. According to legend, Polybotes was a giant who challenged the gods by attempting to overthrow Mount Olympus itself. In response to this audacious act, Poseidon valiantly fought against him with all his might. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such a masterpiece as well as delve into ancient Greek mythology. It serves as a window into a bygone era when tales of gods battling giants captivated people's imaginations. This extraordinary artifact from Vulci offers us insight into the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire awe even today.
