EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving from the late 18th century depicts a scene straight out of Greek mythology. In the center, we witness the mighty Hercules as he fearlessly chains Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. With his immense strength and determination, Hercules manages to subdue this monstrous creature, symbolizing his indomitable spirit. Meanwhile, on the left side of the print, Aegeus comes to rescue Theseus from a perilous fate. Medea, known for her dark magic and cunning ways, attempts to poison Theseus with a deadly concoction. However, before she can succeed in her wicked plan, Aegeus swoops in on his chariot to save him just in time. The image captures Medea fleeing away in her chariot while Theseus is saved from certain doom. The detailed engravings showcase ancient elements such as horses pulling Medea's chariot and depict each character with great precision and emotion. This artwork transports us back to an era where heroes roamed freely and gods intervened in mortal affairs. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless power of mythological tales that continue to captivate our imaginations even centuries later. It is a testament to human creativity and our fascination with stories that transcend time itself.
