EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the infamous incident of the Trojan horse, a pivotal event in the legendary Trojan War. Both Homer and Virgil have immortalized this cunning stratagem in their epic poems, "The Iliad" and "The Aeneid" respectively. The Greeks, pretending to withdraw their besieging army, left behind an enormous wooden horse concealing a secret force of warriors within its belly. Intrigued by this seemingly innocent gift, the unsuspecting Trojans eagerly dragged it into their city walls with tragic consequences. Little did they know that they were welcoming their own destruction. This fateful act has given rise to the timeless phrase: "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". Displayed against a backdrop of ancient ruins and under the warm daylight sky, this illustration transports us back to a time when mythological tales intertwined with history itself. It evokes feelings of awe as we witness this pivotal moment unfold before our eyes. Ken Welsh's artwork skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate design on the wooden horse to the expressions on both Greek soldiers and curious Trojans. This image adds an air of authenticity while emphasizing the historical significance of this event. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded not only of ancient civilizations but also how deception can be used as a powerful weapon in times of war.
