EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving from the 18th century, we witness the dramatic transformation of Galanthis into a weasel by Illythia, the goddess of childbirth. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as Galanthis, a mythological character from ancient Greece, undergoes this punishment for her deception.
The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the moment when Lucina, another name for Illythia, carries out this act of metamorphosis. The expressions on the faces of both women convey a sense of power and determination as they play their roles in this ancient Greek myth.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to a world where gods and goddesses ruled over mortals with both benevolence and wrath. The symbolism behind Galanthis' transformation serves as a reminder of the consequences that can arise from deceit and trickery.
This print is not just a visual representation of a mythological tale; it is also a reflection of human nature and our eternal quest for understanding birth, life, and death. Through art like this engraving by W. Walker after Moreau's illustration, we are able to connect with our past and contemplate the mysteries that continue to shape our existence today.
