EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Medeia killed her young brother, and cast him into the sea" by Howard Davie, takes us deep into the realm of ancient mythology. The scene depicted is both haunting and tragic as Medeia commits an unthinkable act in order to delay her pursuers. As we gaze upon this print, we witness Medeia's desperate escape with Jason and the coveted Golden Fleece. However, their flight is not without consequence. In a heart-wrenching moment of desperation, Medeia turns against her own flesh and blood - her young brother Absyrtus - slaying him mercilessly before casting his lifeless body into the unforgiving sea. This image captures the raw emotion of betrayal and sacrifice that permeates Greek legends. We can almost feel the weight of guilt on Medeia's shoulders as she confronts the consequences of her actions. Meanwhile, King Aietes relentlessly pursues them in a bid to reclaim what he believes rightfully belongs to him. Davie's skillful rendering brings this ancient tale to life with intricate details such as rowing galleys and majestic ships sailing through treacherous waters. It serves as a powerful reminder that even heroes are not exempt from making dark choices in times of dire need. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in mythological history – one where familial bonds are shattered amidst an epic struggle for power and survival.
