EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ancient artifact known as the "Bowl with scenes from the Iliad and the Aethiopis". Created by Greek artisans, this stone bowl is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The intricate relief work on this bowl depicts various figures and scenes that narrate episodes from both Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, and its lesser-known sequel, The Aethiopis. Each figure etched into the stone tells a story of bravery, heroism, and tragedy. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back to classical times when these narratives held great significance in Greek culture. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every line carved into the stone seems to come alive with movement. The scene depicted on this particular section of the bowl captures a pivotal moment in Homeric literature. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as honor, fate, love, and loss - timeless elements that continue to resonate with audiences today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art photography like this one without compromising its essence or quality. This photograph allows us all to appreciate and study this magnificent piece of history from anywhere around the world.
