EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the ancient mosaic of Chresis, found in Daphne and currently housed at the Antakya Museum in Turkey. Created by Roman artists during the 4th century AD, this artwork depicts an intriguing scene from Greek mythology. In the center of the mosaic stands Chryseis, a Trojan woman who was held captive by Agamemnon. She is portrayed delicately holding a tray adorned with both ransom and keys to her city. The name "Chryseis" refers to her status as Chryses' daughter in the Iliad, while later accounts reveal her true name as Astynome. The intricate details captured in this photograph bring forth a sense of vulnerability and strength within Chryseis's character. Her expression reflects both resignation and determination as she navigates through her captivity during the Trojan War. Stephen Coyne skillfully captures this momentous piece of history with his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. This print serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by ancient civilizations and their enduring stories that continue to captivate us today.
