EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Greek mythological tale of Herakles and the Hind of Ceryneia depicted on an Attic Amphora Vase dating back to around 540BC. The image captures a pivotal moment in this legendary story, where Herakles embarks on his third labor as commanded by Eurystheus. Intriguingly, the Hind of Ceryneia is no ordinary deer; it is Dianas' beloved pet deer. This task required great skill and determination from Herakles, as he had to capture and bring back this sacred creature unharmed. The vibrant colors used in this vase painting beautifully highlight the significance of this religious test for both man and deity. The photograph not only transports us to ancient Greece but also provides a glimpse into their rich mythology and cultural heritage. It reminds us that these stories were deeply ingrained in the lives of people during that time period. As we admire this artifact, we are reminded of Athens' historical importance as a hub for artistic expression and storytelling. This amphora vase serves as a testament to the incredible craftsmanship prevalent during the 6th century BC. Thanks to Heritage Images, we can now appreciate Mike Dixon's meticulous photography skills that have immortalized this piece of history for generations to come. Let us cherish such artifacts that connect us with our past while fueling our imagination with tales from ancient Greek mythology.
