EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from "The Story of Greece" by Mary Macgregor, we are transported back to ancient times. The scene depicts a pivotal moment as Thermistocles, an Athenian statesman and military leader, stands in silence before the mighty king Artaxerxes. The artist Walter Crane skillfully captures the tension and significance of this encounter through his use of color and detail. The vibrant hues bring life to the characters and their surroundings, while intricate patterns adorn the garments and furnishings, reflecting the opulence of the court. Thermistocles' posture conveys both respect and defiance as he bows before Artaxerxes on his grand throne. We can almost feel the weight of history hanging in the air as these two powerful figures face each other - one representing Greek city-states, with their democratic ideals and fierce independence; while the other symbolizes Persian might and imperial rule. This image serves as a reminder of ancient rivalries between nations but also highlights themes such as banishment, political intrigue, and personal sacrifice. It invites us to imagine what might be going through Thermistocles' mind at that very moment - is he contemplating his next move or accepting defeat? Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a fascinating period in history when empires clashed, heroes emerged, and destinies were shaped. It is a testament to both artistic talent and historical storytelling that continues to captivate audiences today.
