EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pergamon Altar, a grand masterpiece of Hellenistic art, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Pergamon in Asia Minor. Built between 164 and 156 BC by order of Eumenes II Soter, this monumental altar showcases intricate marble and limestone sculptures, with the South Frieze being a particular highlight. The frieze is adorned with scenes from Greek mythology, most notably the epic battle between the gods and the giants, or Gigantomachy. One captivating scene on the South Frieze depicts the Horse of Helios, the chariot of the sun god, charging towards a giant. The horse, with its powerful muscles and flowing mane, appears poised to attack, while the giant, with bulging muscles and a determined expression, braces for the impact. The struggle between the two is intense, capturing the raw power and energy of the mythological battle. This magnificent artwork, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a reminder of the artistic achievements during the Hellenistic period. The intricate details and lifelike depictions of gods, goddesses, animals, and mythical beings continue to captivate audiences and inspire awe, making it a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history, mythology, or art.
