EDITORS COMMENTS
Titel: Ancient Greek Eponymous Archons: Lysander of Sparta and Agesilaus II with Deputies This image, derived from a handcoloured copperplate engraving in Giulio Ferrario's "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" published in Florence in 1842, showcases two ancient Greek Eponymous Archons or chief magistrates, Lysander of Sparta and Agesilaus II, examining a young man. Eponymous archons were annual magistrates in ancient Greek city-states, whose names were given to the year in which they served. In the first scene, Lysander of Sparta, depicted with a serious expression, is seen examining a young man. Lysander, a renowned military and political leader, wore the traditional Spartan dress, consisting of a himation (a long, rectangular cloak) and a chiton (a tunic) beneath. He is also shown carrying a lionskin and a club, symbols of his military prowess and authority. The second scene features Agesilaus II, the King of Sparta, accompanied by two deputies. Agesilaus II is dressed in a similar fashion to Lysander but with a more elaborate himation. The king is shown in the act of examining an offering, possibly a sacrifice, which could be intended for the gods. The presence of his two deputies suggests that this scene represents a formal judicial proceeding. The young man in the first scene might be a defendant, while the offering in the second scene could be related to a legal or religious matter. The presence of Hercules in the background, as depicted on the vases, further emphasizes the mythological and historical significance of the scene. This illustration is part of the Sir William Hamilton Collection, an extensive collection of ancient art and antiquities amassed by Sir William Hamilton, a British diplomat and collector, during his tenure in Naples in the late 18th century. The collection, now housed in the British Museum, provides valuable insights into ancient Greek culture and history.
