EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Hades, the formidable ruler of the Underworld in Greek mythology, alongside his wife Persephone. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this print showcases their divine presence and eternal bond. Hades, often associated with darkness and death, sits upon a majestic throne while holding a scepter symbolizing his power over the realm of souls. His stern expression reflects his unwavering authority as he governs over departed spirits. Beside him stands Persephone, radiating beauty and grace. As the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she represents both life and fertility. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life the mythical world of ancient Greece. The lines etched into paper showcase the skillful craftsmanship of the artist who carefully depicted each feature with precision. This illustration originates from "Illustrierte Mythologie" a renowned publication that delves into gods' tales and rituals across various civilizations including Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Indians. Its inclusion in this collection further emphasizes its significance within mythological studies. Through this artwork's black-and-white palette, we are transported back to an era where legends thrived and gods reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with divinity throughout history - a testament to our enduring curiosity about forces beyond our mortal existence.
