EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece - a Phallic pillar in the sanctuary of Apollo on the island of Delos, dating back to the 4th century BC. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, this column represents an important symbol in Greek mythology. The Phallic pillar, also known as Stoivadeion, was believed to possess magical powers and was often associated with fertility rituals. Its imposing presence served as a focal point for worshippers who sought blessings from Apollo, the god of music, poetry, and prophecy. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical object. From its sturdy plinth to its ornate carvings and smooth exterior surface, it is evident that great care was taken in crafting this phallic symbol. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where religion played a significant role in daily life. The Aegean islands were not only breathtakingly beautiful but also home to magnificent structures like these pillars that stood as testaments to human creativity and devotion. Thanks to CM Dixon's skillful photography, we can now appreciate this artifact's significance even more deeply. This color print allows us to admire its craftsmanship while reminding us of our connection with ancient civilizations that have shaped our world today.
