EDITORS COMMENTS
In this relief, we witness a quotation from a renowned archaic cult statue of Apollo, the ancient Greek god of light, music, poetry, and prophecy. The image dates back to the 2nd century AD and was discovered at the theater of Miletus, an ancient city located in Asia Minor. The relief is now proudly displayed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. Apollo, depicted as a mature man, stands confidently between two torch-bearers. The god is shown wearing a long robe, draped elegantly over his muscular form. His right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or farewell, while his left hand holds a lyre, symbolizing his role as the god of music. The two torch-bearers, dressed in chiton and himation, flank Apollo, each holding a torch aloft. The god's image is a quotation from a famous archaic cult statue by Kanachos, a renowned Greek sculptor. Apollo's serene expression and the intricate detail of his musculature are testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. The relief also features a deer, a common attribute of Apollo, standing nearby, adding to the mythological scene. The relief's fragmented state only adds to its intrigue, as it invites the viewer to imagine the original statue and the religious significance it held for the ancient Greeks and Romans. The scene on the relief is a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of ancient mythology and the role it continues to play in our collective cultural consciousness.
