EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic sarcophagus made of Pentelic marble. Discovered at Ayios Ioannis, Patras, this ancient artifact is a true testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Greece. The sarcophagus features a unique saddle lid and intricate bas-relief carvings that tell compelling stories. On one long side, we see a vivid depiction of the legendary hunt for the Calydonian boar, where Meleager and Atlanta played significant roles. The scene comes alive with their heroic actions against this formidable creature. On the other long side, two majestic lions stand in confrontation with a large kantharos placed between them, symbolizing strength and power. The narrow side reveals yet another intriguing carving—a griffin fiercely pulling down an ox—an allegorical representation of life's struggles and inevitable fate. Crafted by skilled artisans from an attic workshop around AD 150-170, this sarcophagus exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Through this image capture, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistic mastery but also gain insights into ancient Greek culture and beliefs surrounding death rituals. This remarkable piece serves as a poignant reminder of our mortality while celebrating human achievements in artistry and storytelling
