EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Giovanni Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" published in Florence in 1842, showcases the portraits of five prominent ancient Greek figures: Periander, Solon, Bias, Thales, and Pittacus. Periander, the Corinthian ruler, is depicted in regal attire, seated in a chariot drawn by two horses. He holds a scepter in his right hand, symbolizing his power and authority. His purple robe, a sign of royalty, is adorned with intricate gold patterns. Solon, the Athenian statesman, is shown wearing a simple, white toga, signifying his status as a citizen of Athens. He holds a scroll in his left hand, representing the laws he introduced during his tenure as archon. In his right hand, he holds a rod, a symbol of his power and authority. Bias of Priene, a wise philosopher, is depicted with a palette and rod in his hands, symbolizing his role as a judge and his expertise in ethics. He wears a simple tunic and a cloak, reflecting his humble lifestyle. Thales of Miletus, the Greek mathematician and philosopher, is shown wearing a long robe and holding a globe, symbolizing his knowledge of the natural world. In his left hand, he holds a lyre, representing his musical abilities. Pittacus of Mytilene, another philosopher and poet, is depicted with an owl, the symbol of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. He wears a simple tunic and a cloak, and holds a scroll in his right hand, representing his literary works. This engraving is a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient Greek culture and the influential figures who shaped its history. The allegorical figures and symbolic objects add depth and meaning to the portraits, making this a fascinating historical and artistic artifact.
