EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Double herm of Herodotus and Thucydides" at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. Crafted from marble, this double buste en Hermes is a testament to the ancient Greek historians who shaped our understanding of history. On one side stands Herodotus, often referred to as the father of history. Born around 484 BC in Halicarnassus, he authored "The Histories" a monumental work that chronicled various events and cultures of his time. His contribution to historical writing cannot be overstated. On the other side stands Thucydides, an equally influential figure in ancient Greece. Born around 460 BC, he penned "The History of the Peloponnesian War" which delved into the conflict between Sparta and Athens during that era. Thucydides' meticulous approach to recording facts and analyzing political motivations revolutionized historical scholarship. This double-faced masterpiece captures their essence with intricate details such as curly hair, beards, and profiles that exude wisdom and intellect. The bicephale nature symbolizes their profound impact on historiography – two minds united in shaping our understanding of past events. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of these great thinkers' enduring legacy. Their contributions continue to inspire scholars worldwide as they navigate through complex narratives seeking truth within history's vast
