EDITORS COMMENTS
In this line drawing by John Flaxman, we are transported back to the ancient world of Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad". The scene depicts Hector, a formidable warrior dressed for battle, engaged in a stern conversation with his brother Paris. However, what catches our attention is not only their contrasting appearances but also the symbolic meaning behind it. Hector stands tall and proud in his armor, representing strength and valor on the battlefield. His helmet gleams under the sunlight as he scolds Paris for his choice of attire - a humble peasants hat or kyne. This simple headgear symbolizes Paris' lack of action and passivity amidst the raging Trojan War. Flaxman's meticulous lines bring out every detail of these iconic characters from Greek mythology. We can almost feel Hector's frustration as he lectures Paris about honor and duty while pointing towards their impending battle against Greek warriors. This artwork transports us to an era where men were brave warriors and women were powerful goddesses who influenced their fate. It reminds us of the timeless themes explored by Homer - loyalty, heroism, love, and tragedy. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we cannot help but marvel at how art has preserved stories that have captivated audiences for centuries. It serves as a visual reminder that even in ancient times, battles were fought not only with swords and spears but also with words that carried weighty meanings beyond mere appearance.
