EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Siege of Troy (Troy is taken)" from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the ancient world and the legendary events described in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. The image depicts the culmination of the decade-long siege of the once impregnable city of Troy, as Greek warriors celebrate their hard-won victory. The mythological tale of the Trojan War, fueled by the abduction of Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, had been raging for years. The Greeks, led by Agamemnon and the mighty Achilles, had laid siege to Troy, constructing a massive wooden horse as a ruse to infiltrate the city. The Trojans, unaware of the deception, brought the horse within their walls, only to be ambushed by the Greek army hidden within. As seen in this print, the Greeks have emerged victorious, with the city's walls breached and the once proud Trojan horse now a symbol of their downfall. The image captures the chaos and excitement of the moment, with soldiers raising their swords in triumph and the citizens of Troy fleeing in terror. This historical and classical print offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and heroic tales of ancient Greece, transporting us to a time of gods and heroes, of epic battles and legendary deception. The Siege of Troy remains a captivating story that continues to inspire artists, writers, and audiences alike, and this print serves as a stunning reminder of the enduring power of this ancient myth.
