Pontus, a name that resonates with ancient legends and historical figures. From the grandeur of the Pergamon Altar to the intricate details of Mithridates the Great's reign, it has left its mark on history. At the Pergamon Altar, we witness the Horse of Helios carriage attacking a giant, showcasing Pontus' mythical prowess. The goddess Ceto stands by her father Pontus in another scene from this magnificent altar, highlighting their divine connection. Moving beyond mythology, we encounter a map of Christian Europe known as "De Europa. " This depiction reminds us that even in our modern age, Pontus' influence can be traced back centuries. In artistry, we find Ernst Josephson's portrait capturing Pontus Furstenberg in 1883. A striking representation that immortalizes an individual within his time. The mention of Racine's plays "Monime" and "Mithridate" brings forth stories inspired by Pontus' rich history. These theatrical masterpieces delve into themes of power struggles and love entangled with political ambitions. Pontus De Thiard emerges as a notable figure - poet, priest, and member of La Pléiade - exemplifying how diverse talents have been nurtured within this region throughout history. A map depicting Asia Minor (Turkey) reveals how geographically significant Pontus was in connecting different civilizations and cultures across time. Another portrayal shows French poet and priest Pontus De Tyard from Paul Lacroix's book published in 1878. It serves as a reminder that literature flourished alongside scientific advancements during medieval times. Lastly, Mithridates VI takes center stage as one of the most prominent rulers in Pontic history. Known as Mithridates the Great or Eupator Dionysius King of Pontus, he shaped not only his kingdom but also influenced neighboring regions during his reign from 132 to 63 BC.
