EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a magnificent marble head of a horse from the chariot of the moon-goddess Selene, intricately carved during the 5th century BC. The head is an exquisite relic from the East Pediment of the Parthenon, located on the Acropolis in Athens, Attica, Greece. The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, is a symbol of ancient Greek civilization and a masterpiece of the Classical period. The horse head, sculpted with exceptional detail and finesse, is believed to have adorned the chariot of Selene, who was often depicted riding a chariot pulled by horses or a team of horses. The horse's powerful features, with its expressive eyes and intricately detailed mane and ears, are a testament to the artistic prowess of the ancient Greeks. This head is now preserved in the British Museum in London, United Kingdom, where it is admired by visitors from around the world. The British Museum's vast collection of Greek marbles, including this head, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that spans the ages. The intricate carvings and high artistic style of this figure reflect the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks during the 5th century BC, a period known for its artistic and cultural renaissance. The Parthenon, with its iconic fronton and intricately carved friezes, is a symbol of the ancient Greek civilization and a must-see attraction for anyone interested in history, art, or ancient cultures. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the age of the gods and the artistic masterpieces that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
