EDITORS COMMENTS
In this funerary stele from ancient Greece, dating back to the IV century BC, we find the poignant image of Hieron and Lysippe, a man and a woman, united even in death. Carved in penteli marble, this relief once adorned the naiskos, or small temple, of Hierokles' tomb in Rhampous, Attica. The couple is depicted in a simple yet profound scene, with Hieron, a bearded man dressed in a chiton and himation, extending his hand towards Lysippe, a woman dressed in a chiton and himation, who in turn reaches out to touch his hand. Their hands meeting in mid-air symbolizes the continuation of their bond beyond the grave, a testament to their deep connection and the enduring nature of their love. This artwork, a masterpiece of Greek art, is a poignant reminder of the importance of relationships and the belief in the continuity of life after death in ancient Greek civilization. The fourth century BC was a period of great artistic innovation and expression in Greece, and this funerary stele is a prime example of the beauty, grace, and emotional depth that characterized the art of this age. The National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, is the current home of this precious relic, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This image of Hieron and Lysippe, their hands meeting in eternal union, stands as a powerful reminder of the enduring nature of love and the deep connections that bind us, even beyond the grave.
