Apple Goddess Pomona Rackham Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Pomona, the Roman Goddess of Fertility and Abundance, Surrounded by Fruit-Laden Trees This image showcases Pomona, the enchanting Roman goddess of fruit trees and the abundant harvest. Pomona, whose name is derived from the Latin word 'pomum,' meaning 'apple,' was revered for her role in ensuring the fertility and prosperity of orchards and gardens. The goddess is depicted in this classical print, dressed in a flowing robe, adorned with a wreath of fruit and ivy, and holding a cornucopia, symbolizing the abundance and richness of the earth. Her gentle expression and serene demeanor evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, as if she is inviting us to partake in the bountiful harvest. The lush, green background is filled with an array of fruit-laden trees, including apple, pear, and quince trees, which represent the fruits of Pomona's care and protection. The intricate details of the trees' leaves and branches, as well as the delicate folds of Pomona's robe, are masterfully rendered in this historical print. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the mythology and history of ancient Rome, where the gods and goddesses were believed to have a profound influence on the natural world and human life. Pomona's story reminds us of the importance of appreciating the beauty and bounty of nature, and of the deep connection between the earth, its fruits, and the people who cultivate them.
