EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Pyrrhus II, a significant figure in ancient Greek history. Ruling as king of Epirus during the Aeacid Dynasty from 242 BC to 237 BC, Pyrrhus II was born into a prestigious lineage as the son of Olympias II and Alexander II of Epirus. This portrait showcases his profile, highlighting his noble features and commanding aura. The engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. The unknown creator has masterfully depicted Pyrrhus II wearing traditional ancient Greek armor and an imposing helmet that symbolizes his authority as a monarch. The image offers us a glimpse into the past - a window to an era filled with power struggles and political intrigue. It reminds us of the rich tapestry of ancient Greece's history while also serving as a testament to human creativity through art. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an age where kings ruled with absolute sovereignty over their lands. Through this portrait, Pyrrhus II's legacy lives on - forever etched in time for future generations to appreciate his contributions to both literature and country alike.
