Athene Bull Custom Honour Lyre Pallas Procession
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a procession in ancient Greece in honor of the goddess Pallas Athene, the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and crafts. Circa 500 BC, this historical scene unfolds in Greece, a land rich in mythology and tradition. The goddess, identified by her aegis, a protective shield adorned with the head of the Gorgon Medusa, and her iconic helmet, is carried on a golden chariot drawn by a team of magnificent white horses. Surrounding Pallas Athene are her devoted followers and devotees, all clad in vibrant robes and adorned with intricate jewelry. They carry offerings, including fruits, flowers, and other symbols of devotion, to present before their beloved deity. Among them, a young woman plays a lyre, her melodic tunes resonating through the air, adding to the festive atmosphere. In the background, a majestic bull is led along, a symbol of strength and fertility. The bull's presence underscores the importance of agriculture and the bountiful harvest in ancient Greek society. The procession, filled with social significance, serves as a testament to the deep connection between the people and their gods, a custom that has been passed down through generations. This photograph print, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and customs of ancient Greece. It invites us to explore the depths of Greek mythology and the enduring influence of its traditions on modern society.
