Aphrodite Hephaistos Jupiter Venus Vulcan Zeus Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in Greek mythology, as the king of gods, Zeus, arranges the betrothal of the goddess of love, Aphrodite (Venus), to the god of fire and metalworking, Hephaistos (Vulcan). The scene unfolds in the grand palace of Mount Olympus, with Zeus seated on his throne, surrounded by other deities. Aphrodite, radiant in her beauty, stands before him, while Hephaistos, strong and muscular, waits anxiously at her side. The gods look on with curiosity and amusement, some whispering amongst themselves, while others maintain a solemn expression. According to legend, Zeus made this match to prevent Hephaistos from taking revenge on him for one of his many infidelities. Despite Aphrodite's initial reluctance, she eventually agreed to marry Hephaistos, and they went on to have a long and happy union. This print beautifully captures the classical elegance and intrigue of Greek mythology, with its stunning depiction of the gods and their human-like emotions. The intricate details of the gods' robes, the expressive faces, and the lush greenery of Mount Olympus transport us to a time when mythology was a living and breathing part of daily life.
