EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the ancient world of Greek Games, captured from a marble relic dating back to around 490 BC. Created by the talented artist Themistocles, this remarkable piece was later repurposed in the wall constructed by Themistocles himself in 479 BC as a defense for Athens. Now housed within the prestigious National Museum in Athens, this artifact stands as a testament to Greece's rich sporting heritage. In this side view image, we are transported back in time to witness an intense sporting event unfold. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this profile shot of two athletes engaged in what appears to be a game involving a ball and hockey sticks. Their faces reflect determination and focus as they compete against each other with great skill and agility. The juxtaposition between these sportsmen symbolizes not only their physical rivalry but also represents the concept of opposition that is inherent within competitive sports. This historic artifact serves as both a metaphor for ancient Greek society and an important reminder of our human desire for competition throughout history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary relic from over two millennia ago, we are reminded of how sport has transcended time and location, connecting us through centuries with our ancestors' passion for athletic pursuits.
