EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble sarcophagus located in Eleusis, Greece. The intricate relief carving on the sarcophagus depicts the legendary hunt of the Calydonian boar, a popular mythological tale from ancient Greek history. The Aetolian monster, known as the Calydonian boar, is portrayed with great detail and skill on this remarkable piece of art. What makes this photo even more intriguing is its connection to renowned author Roald Dahl. During World War II, Dahl was stationed at the Elevsis aerodrome in Greece while flying Hurricanes for his country. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to this already fascinating image. The date of this print is estimated to be around the 1940s, further emphasizing its historical value. It serves as a testament to both ancient Greek mythology and modern wartime experiences. This particular image has been carefully curated by Mary Evans Prints Online under rights management guidelines.
