EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the power and majesty of Zeus, the king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology. In this scene, Zeus is depicted commanding the rain to cease and the floods to withdraw with a simple gesture of his hand. The dramatic sky above him seems to part at his command, revealing rays of sunlight breaking through the storm clouds.
The artist, Stephen Reid, has skillfully brought this mythological moment to life with rich colours and intricate details. The flowing robes of Zeus billow around him as he stands tall and powerful against a backdrop of swirling winds and crashing waves. The sense of movement in this print is palpable, as if we are witnessing the very moment when nature itself bows before the might of Zeus.
This illustration was originally created for "Old Greek Folk Stories Told Anew" by Josephine Preston Peabody in 1911, showcasing how timeless tales from antiquity continue to inspire artists even in the early 20th century. Through art like this, we are reminded of the enduring power and influence of ancient myths on our cultural imagination.
