EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Defiant Battle: Ceto Aiding Her Father Pontus in the Gigantomachy on the Pergamon Altar The Pergamon Altar, a grand architectural masterpiece from the ancient world, stands as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Hellenistic period. Commissioned by Eumenes II Soter around 164-156 BC, this monumental structure was built on the Acropolis of Pergamon in Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey. The altar, a fusion of marble and limestone, is a stunning example of the artistic prowess of the Pergamon school. This detail from the North Frieze of the Pergamon Altar depicts the god Pontus, personified as an old man, being aided by his daughter Ceto during the mythological battle of Gigantomachy. The gods, led by Zeus, fought against the giants, who were the offspring of the primordial deities Gaia and Uranus, in a battle for supremacy. Ceto, the sea goddess, is shown with a determined expression, reaching out to support her father as he grapples with a giant. Her flowing hair and drapery, intricately carved in high relief, add to the dynamic energy of the scene. The detail also features a lion, a symbol of Pontus, adding to the mythological richness of the composition. The Pergamon Altar, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a significant reminder of the artistic and mythological traditions that shaped the ancient world. The intricate details of this frieze, like the one featuring Ceto and Pontus, continue to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Hellenistic age.
