EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the ancient Greek goddess Pallas Athene, also known as Athena or Athene Pallas, who holds a special place in Greek mythology as the protector and patron of heroes, particularly the legendary Odysseus, also known as Ulysses. The goddess is shown here in her full glory, wearing her iconic Aegis, a magical garment adorned with the Gorgon Medusa's head, and holding her signature attribute, the spear and shield. With a serene expression on her face, she seems to be deep in thought, perhaps pondering the fates of mortals or offering guidance to those in need. The image of Pallas Athene watching over Odysseus during his perilous travels is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between the divine and the human realm in ancient Greek mythology. Odysseus, a renowned hero and king of Ithaca, was known for his cunning and resourcefulness, but his journey home after the Trojan War was fraught with danger and hardship. The goddess's presence was a constant source of comfort and strength, helping him navigate the challenges that lay before him. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to a time when mythology and history were intertwined, and the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece were believed to play an active role in the lives of mortals. It is a testament to the enduring power of myth and the human imagination, and a reminder of the timeless stories that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
