EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the mythological tale of Hippolytus, a noble prince from ancient Greece, who met his untimely end due to the terrifying power of Poseidon's sea monsters. Hippolytus, a devoted follower of the goddess Artemis, had spurned the advances of the sea god's daughter, Phoenicia. In retaliation, Poseidon unleashed his fearsome creatures to terrorize the horses of Hippolytus, causing them to trample their master to death. The tragic turn of events left the land mourning the loss of a beloved prince. However, fortune smiled upon Hippolytus in the form of the healing god Asklepios. Known for his miraculous powers, Asklepios was able to restore Hippolytus to life, bringing him back from the brink of eternal rest. This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of classical mythology. The intricate details of the sea monsters' sinister forms, the anguished expressions of the horses, and the serene countenance of Asklepios all combine to create a powerful and poignant narrative. This image serves as a reminder of the capricious nature of the gods, their ability to bestow both life and death, and the enduring power of hope and healing. The historical significance of this myth extends beyond ancient Greece, as it has been the subject of numerous artistic interpretations throughout the centuries. This print, with its exquisite detail and evocative storytelling, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classical mythology and the human spirit's innate desire to understand the mysteries of life, death, and the divine.
