EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "I am a stranger here. Tell me, then, why you come" transports us to an ancient city bustling with life and mythology. The print, created by Howard Davie in the early 20th century, captures the essence of Greek folklore and its influence on society. In this vibrant scene, we find Theseus, a renowned mythological hero, standing amidst a lively marketplace known as the agora. Clutching a book in his hand, he appears curious and out of place in this unfamiliar town. His question hangs in the air: Why have these people gathered? The illustration beautifully combines elements of paganism and religion that were integral to ancient Greek culture. The market is filled with stalls selling various goods while children play nearby - a reflection of daily life intertwined with mythical tales. Davie's attention to detail shines through each engraved line; every figure seems alive with movement and expression. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in classical mythology. As we gaze upon this striking image from The Stapleton Collection held privately, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space. It invites us to explore our own curiosity about history's heroes and their enduring impact on our collective imagination.
