EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a fragment of the East Frieze of the Parthenon, a masterpiece of ancient Greek art dating back to the 5th century BC during the Classical period. The Parthenon, located on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. This particular section of the frieze, now housed in the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom, depicts a scene from Greek mythology. Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hera, his wife and queen of the gods, are depicted seated on ornate thrones. Between them stands a man, possibly a mortal king or hero, who receives a folded peplos, or robe, from a young boy. The intricate details of the sculptures are a testament to the advanced craftsmanship of the ancient Greeks. The peplos, which would have been a significant part of the religious ritual, is being presented in a respectful and formal manner. The East Frieze of the Parthenon is renowned for its exceptional quality and historical significance. It provides valuable insights into the religious practices and mythology of ancient Greece. The intricate reliefs, which once adorned the entire temple, have been meticulously preserved and studied by scholars and historians for centuries. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient world, transporting us back in time to the golden age of Greek civilization.
