EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the earliest times of ancient Greece, where simplicity reigned supreme. In this illustration from "The Story of Greece" by Mary Macgregor, we are transported back to a time when a simple foot-race was the only event that mattered. The image beautifully depicts the essence of athleticism and competition in its purest form. As we delve into Greek history, it is fascinating to learn that this race symbolizes the birth of one of humanity's greatest sporting events - the Olympic Games. Dating back to 776 BC, these games were initially held as a tribute to Zeus and took place in Olympia. In this scene, created by Walter Crane in 1913, we witness young athletes eagerly preparing for their race. Their determined expressions and poised stances reflect their dedication and passion for running. It is through such races that they sought glory and honor not only for themselves but also for their city-states. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, physical fitness played an essential role in society. The pursuit of wellness was highly valued among Greeks who believed it contributed to both mental and physical well-being. Through this enchanting print, we are reminded of our shared human history while celebrating the timeless spirit of competition found within us all.
