EDITORS COMMENTS
In this second-century Roman marble sculpture, the enigmatic figure of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and wilderness, comes to life. Originally hailing from Ephesus, now in modern-day Turkey, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Ephesus Museum in Selcuk. Artemis, also known as Diana in Roman mythology, is depicted here in her quintessential form. She wears a flowing chiton, a simple tunic, and a himation, a cloak, draped over her shoulders. The intricate folds of her garments reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail, as well as their mastery of the classical Greek style. The goddess's left hand is raised, signaling the command to her loyal hounds, while her right hand cradles a bow and arrow, symbolizing her role as the mistress of the hunt. Her serene expression and composed posture convey her unwavering focus and determination, embodying the essence of the huntress goddess. The influence of Greek mythology on Roman culture is evident in this magnificent sculpture, which showcases the enduring appeal of Artemis and her mythological tales. As a deity revered for her wild beauty, fertility, and protection of the natural world, Artemis continues to captivate and inspire generations. This exquisite marble figure serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient civilizations, offering a glimpse into the mythological world of the past.
