EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lycurgus, a prominent figure in ancient Greece. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait showcases the bearded face of Lycurgus, who lived around 820 BC. As a lawgiver of Sparta, he implemented significant military reforms based on the guidance of the Oracle of Delphi. The image reflects Lycurgus' dedication to promoting equality among citizens, emphasizing military fitness and austerity. His influence on Spartan society is evident through his stern expression and strong profile. The engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. Lycurgus played a pivotal role in shaping Sparta's legal system and political landscape during the 9th century BC. This portrait offers a glimpse into his character as a wise leader who prioritized discipline and virtue above all else. As we observe this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of Lycurgus' enduring legacy within ancient Greek literature and history. The attention to detail captured by the artist allows us to appreciate not only Lycurgus' physical appearance but also his profound impact on Spartan society.
