EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Map of Ancient Greece" takes us on a journey back in time to the rich history and mythology of this legendary civilization. Created by Heinrich Kiepert in the 19th century, it is part of his renowned Atlas Antiquus collection. The map showcases the intricate details of ancient Greek geography, with its islands scattered across the Mediterranean Sea. From Athens to Sparta, Corinth to Thebes, each city and island is carefully labeled, allowing us to trace the footsteps of great philosophers like Socrates and Plato or envision epic battles fought by heroes such as Achilles and Odysseus. As we explore this map further, we encounter mythological figures intertwined with real-life locations. These mythical characters bring an air of enchantment to the already fascinating landscape. It serves as a reminder that religion played a significant role in ancient Greek society—a polytheistic belief system where gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently. The vibrant colours used in this engraving add depth and life to an otherwise historical document. They evoke a sense of awe for both the natural beauty found throughout Greece's diverse terrain and for its cultural significance that continues to resonate today. Whether you are a lover of cartography or simply intrigued by ancient civilizations, this print offers a glimpse into one of humanity's most influential periods—where art flourished alongside philosophy, democracy was born, and myths became woven into everyday life.
