EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Family's Plea to the Benevolent Zeus Meilichios, Depicted as a Coiled Serpent (4th Century BC, National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece) This ancient Greek relief, dated between 350-300 BC, showcases the god Zeus Meilichios, depicted as a serpent, protecting and receiving the supplications of a family. The relief, dedicated by Aristomene, was discovered in Pangrati, a suburb of Athens. Zeus Meilichios, also known as Zeus the Gracious or Zeus the Kindly, was a benevolent form of the mighty Greek god Zeus. In this representation, he is shown as a coiled serpent, symbolizing his protective and healing powers. The serpent was believed to possess the ability to heal and bring good fortune, making it an appropriate symbol for Zeus Meilichios. On the left side of the relief, a family of supplicants is depicted. The father, with a raised arm, leads his wife and child in prayer. Their humble and earnest gestures convey their deep faith and trust in the god's power to grant their wishes. The family's submission to the divine serpent is a poignant reminder of the importance of faith and hope during ancient times. This exquisite piece of art, with its intricate details and symbolic representation, is a testament to the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece. It is a valuable addition to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world. The relief's discovery in Pangrati, an area known for its ancient sanctuaries and temples, further emphasizes the significance of this deity in ancient Greek religious practices. The family's heartfelt plea to Zeus Meilichios, depicted in this relief, continues to resonate with us today, reminding us of the power of faith and the importance of seeking protection and guidance from the divine.
