EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from ancient Greece, depicting the heartwarming story of Cleobis and Biton pulling their mother's chariot. Created in the 6th century BC, this exquisite relief carving beautifully captures the essence of family bonds and devotion. In this artwork, we witness two strong young men assisting their mother on her journey. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this ancient scene, evoking a sense of admiration for these brave brothers who exemplify filial piety. The significance of this piece extends beyond its artistic value; it also holds deep religious symbolism. In Greek culture, family played an integral role in religious ceremonies and rituals. This sculpture serves as a testament to the importance placed on motherhood, twinship, and parenting within society during that time. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in stone. It is a reminder that love knows no bounds - even through centuries - as Cleobis and Biton selflessly lend their strength to support their beloved mother. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such historical treasures like this one by CM Dixon. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past that continue to inspire awe and appreciation for our shared human experiences across cultures throughout history.
