EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Hecuba, the legendary Queen of Troy and the devoted wife of King Priam, as described in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. Hecuba, whose name means 'glory of the father,' reigned in Troy during the fateful year of 1237 BC. The scene portrayed in this print captures a poignant moment in the narrative, as Hecuba grieves over the impending fall of her beloved city. With an expression etched with sorrow and despair, she clutches the lifeless body of her beloved son, Hector, who had been slain in battle by the mighty Greek hero, Achilles. The Iliad, an enduring masterpiece of classical literature, recounts the Trojan War and its aftermath. Hecuba's tragic story is one of the most memorable in the epic, as she faces unimaginable loss and suffering. Her unwavering love for her city and her family is a testament to her strength and resilience in the face of adversity. This evocative print, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to the ancient world and invites us to bear witness to the depth of emotion and human experience conveyed in Homer's timeless tale. The image of Hecuba, with her regal bearing and heart-wrenching grief, serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of myth and the human spirit.
