EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the joyous celebration of a marriage in Ancient Greece, as depicted in the Enciclopedia Ilustrada Segui from around 1900. The scene is alive with festivity and merriment, with guests gathered to honor and commemorate this sacred union.
In the center of the image, a figure stands reciting an epithalamium - an epic poem specially written for the bride as she makes her way to her marital chamber. This custom was a significant part of Greek wedding traditions, symbolizing love and blessings for the newlyweds.
The guests surrounding the couple are dressed in traditional attire, adding to the historical authenticity of this momentous occasion. Each person plays a role in making this celebration unforgettable, from musicians providing lively tunes to dancers moving gracefully across the floor.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from ancient times, we are transported back to an era where customs and rituals held deep meaning and significance. It is a reminder that love has always been celebrated throughout history in various ways, bringing people together in unity and joy.
This illustration serves as a beautiful tribute to Greek culture and its rich heritage of celebrating love and marriage through poetry, music, dance, and communal gathering.
