EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of ancient Greek art that tells a poignant story of farewell and parting. The gravestone relief, dating back to 400-350 BC in Attica, Greece, depicts the scene of a young girl named Sosilla bidding goodbye to Chaireas from Kedoi.
The intricate decoration on the relief is crowned by palmette ornamentation, showcasing the artistic skill and attention to detail of the sculptor. The figures of Sosilla and Chaireas are depicted in classical Greek attire, with Sosilla wearing a tunic typical of the era.
As they shake hands in their final farewell, one can sense the emotion and sorrow in this moment captured for eternity. The inscription reveals that Sosilla was the daughter of Straton from Kollytos in Attica, adding a personal touch to this funerary scene.
This gravestone serves as both a memorial to the deceased and a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greek civilization. It is a reminder of our shared human experience across time and cultures, connecting us to those who came before us.
This print is not just an image but a window into history, allowing us to glimpse into the lives and emotions of people long gone but not forgotten.
