EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The wind god sent a gust from the south" we are transported back to ancient Greece, where myth and legend intertwine. Illustrated by Walter Crane in 1913, this colorful depiction is part of Mary Macgregor's renowned book, The Story of Greece. The scene unfolds with a sense of tragedy and mourning. A group of Greeks gathers around a fallen figure, struck on the head by an unfortunate accident during their game. Unconscious and surrounded by grief-stricken mourners, it becomes clear that death has claimed one of their own. Amidst the sorrowful atmosphere, Apollo, the sun god himself, stands nearby holding his pipe while Zephyrus, the winged wind god responsible for this ill-fated incident, looks on with jealousy in his eyes. This unexpected turn reveals not only the fragility of life but also highlights themes of friendship and betrayal within Greek mythology. A beautiful hyacinth flower lies near the fallen player—a symbol both tragic and poignant as it represents Hyacinthus, a beloved youth whose story is intertwined with Apollo's grief. This floral element adds depth to our understanding of mythological figures and their connection to nature. Through Crane's skilled brushwork and attention to detail, we are reminded once again how ancient myths continue to captivate us even after centuries have passed. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in preserving stories that shape our cultural heritage.
