EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Pergamon Altar: A Glimpse into the Colossal Battle of Gigantomachy - Doris and a Giant The Pergamon Altar, a grandiose masterpiece of Hellenistic art, stands as a testament to the ancient world's artistic and architectural prowess. Commissioned by Eumenes II Soter around 164-156 BC, this monumental structure was created by the skilled artists of the Pergamon school. Housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, the altar is a marvel of marble and limestone, showcasing intricate relief sculptures that narrate the epic mythological battle of Gigantomachy. The west frieze of the Pergamon Altar, in particular, is a sight to behold, with its detailed depiction of the struggle between the Olympian gods and the Giants. In this image, we witness Doris, a goddess, locked in a fierce battle with a colossal giant. Her face is etched with determination and resolve as she clutches onto the giant's hand with both of hers, her hair cascading down her back in a wild, untamed mane. The giant, on the other hand, displays raw power and strength, his muscular form contorted in an attempt to overpower Doris. This fragmented section of the west frieze, with its intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the characters, offers a glimpse into the rich mythology of ancient Greece and the artistic mastery of the Hellenistic period. The Pergamon Altar, with its grandeur and intricacy, continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day, offering a window into the ancient world and the myths that shaped it.
