EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of a Krater, dating back to the 1st century BC, showcases the captivating image of Artemis, the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, and the moon. The marble sculpture, originally part of a larger vessel, was discovered in Italy and now resides at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Artemis is depicted with an ethereal grace, her youthful features accentuated by the delicate curves of her body. She carries a torch in her left hand, symbolizing her role as the Goddess of the Night and Darkness, while in her right hand, she holds a quiver filled with arrows, representing her dominion over the hunt. The pine tree behind her adds to the serene atmosphere of the scene, emphasizing the connection between Artemis and the natural world. The other women in the fragment cannot be positively identified, but they may represent various aspects of Artemis's mythology or simply be attendants to the goddess. This fragment is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and Greece, which continues to captivate and inspire us in the present day. The intricate details of the sculpture reveal the advanced artistic techniques of the time, showcasing the sophistication and beauty of ancient civilization.
