EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from ancient Greek history. The image showcases the intense fight over the body of Patroclus, depicted on a frieze from the Siphnian Treasury dating back to around 525 BC. The marble artwork, now housed in the Archaeological Museum at Delphi, Greece, portrays an epic scene from the Trojan War. The composition features Greek soldiers engaged in combat as they fiercely battle for control of Patroclus' lifeless body. Their helmets and shields gleam under the sunlight, symbolizing their unwavering determination and valor. The significance of this historical event is further emphasized by its preservation through photography. Taken in October 1961 by John Bethell, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry and storytelling prowess of ancient Greek civilization. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when heroes like Achilles fought valiantly against Troy's forces. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of bravery and sacrifice. With every intricate detail captured by Bethell's lens – from the delicate carving of each soldier to their expressions filled with anguish or determination – we can't help but be captivated by this snapshot into our collective past.
