EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary moment when the brave Athenian hero Theseus confronts and slays the fearsome Minotaur in the heart of the Labyrinth on the island of Crete. According to Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a monstrous creature, part man and part bull, kept by King Minos as a punishment from the gods. The Minotaur was said to be insatiable, feeding on the flesh of seven youths and seven maidens from Athens each year. In this image, Theseus, armed with a sword, stands defiantly before the Minotaur, who towers over him with open jaws and snarling fangs. The hero's determination and courage are evident in his fierce gaze and clenched fist. Behind Theseus, the intricate and winding Labyrinth can be seen, a maze-like structure that was said to have been designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus. The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur is a classic tale of heroism and bravery, one that has been retold through the ages. It is a story that highlights the power of human determination and the triumph of good over evil. Theseus' slaying of the Minotaur is a pivotal moment in Greek mythology and a testament to the enduring power of myth and legend. This print, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece. It is a reminder of the captivating stories and iconic figures that have shaped our cultural heritage and continue to inspire us today.
