EDITORS COMMENTS
In this relief from ancient Greece, we witness the legendary hero and king of Argos, Amphiaraus, engaged in a chariot race against seven champions from Thebes. Dating back to the 4th century BC, this masterpiece was discovered in Oropus, Attica, and now resides in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. Amphiaraus, a revered figure in Greek mythology, was known for his exceptional skill in divination and his unwavering loyalty to his wife, Eriphyle. The story of Amphiaraus' chariot race against Thebes' champions is rooted in the larger mythological narrative of the Seven Against Thebes, an epic tale of vengeance and heroism. The relief exquisitely captures the intensity and excitement of the race, with Amphiaraus' chariot pulled by two powerful horses, their muscles taut and veins bulging. The hero himself is depicted in the chariot, his muscular form and determined expression conveying his unyielding spirit. The relief's intricate details reveal the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek craftsmen, from the intricate patterns adorning the chariot to the individual features of the horses and the athletes. This votive relief, a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek mythology and the artistic prowess of ancient Greece, continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details and compelling narrative. The relief's journey from its discovery in Oropus to its current home in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin serves as a reminder of the rich historical and cultural connections between Greece and Germany.
