EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Drachm (Coin) Depicting the Goddess Athena, dating back to around 490 BCE. Crafted by an unknown creator during ancient Greece's golden era, this remarkable piece of currency is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of that time. The coin features a close-up image of the revered goddess Athena, symbolizing wisdom, war strategy, and female power. With her piercing grey eyes and serene expression, she exudes an aura of strength and intellect. Perched on her shoulder is an owl, representing knowledge and insight. Against a backdrop of muted tones, this panoramic shot captures every intricate detail on the coin's surface. The metallic shine adds depth to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. Displayed in an art gallery at the renowned Art Institute Chicago, this artifact serves as a window into ancient Greek mythology and culture. It reminds us of their advanced monetary system and how coins were not only used for commerce but also carried religious symbolism. As we admire this timeless work of art from centuries past, it prompts contemplation about our own values today. The depiction of Athena encourages us to seek wisdom in our decisions while embracing our inner strength as women or men alike.
