EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a section of the East pediment of the Parthenon, housed in the esteemed New Acropolis Museum in Athens. The left side depicts Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths and craftsmen, overpowering a giant with his immense strength. The intricate carving and ornate details on this damaged stone bas-relief are a testament to the exceptional artistry of ancient Greece. On the right side, we witness an awe-inspiring scene as Helios, the sun god, emerges from the ocean in his majestic four-horse chariot. This representation symbolizes the rising of the sun each day and highlights both human and animal figures flawlessly carved into stone. The low angle view emphasizes these remarkable sculptures' grandeur while allowing us to appreciate their significance within Greek culture. As part of Athens' rich history, these masterpieces transport us back to ancient times when mythology played an integral role in people's lives. Displayed indoors at one of Greece's most renowned museums dedicated to archaeology and art, this photograph invites viewers to explore travel destinations that offer glimpses into our past. It serves as a reminder that even though no people are present in this image, their stories endure through such incredible representations created by skilled artisans centuries ago
