EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned Greek explorer and geographer Pytheas of Massalia, leading his impressive trireme through the waters of what is now modern-day Britain. Pytheas, hailing from the ancient Greek colony of Massalia, or Marseille, embarked on an extraordinary journey around the 4th Century B.C., exploring a significant portion of the Atlantic coastline and beyond. Pytheas's achievements are a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized ancient Greece. His account of his travels, although controversial among some scholars due to its lack of corroborating evidence, has long intrigued historians and geographers. He is believed to have reached the British Isles, possibly even venturing as far north as Iceland and Norway. The trireme, an impressive warship of the ancient Greek navy, is depicted here in all its glory. With three banks of oars, this powerful vessel was the backbone of the Athenian fleet during the Peloponnesian War. Pytheas's trireme, however, was likely adapted for exploration, featuring additional provisions, navigational equipment, and possibly even a small cabin for Pytheas and his crew. This evocative print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the world of ancient exploration and the remarkable journey of Pytheas, the intrepid Greek geographer and navigator. His legacy continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the boundless curiosity and determination that drives us to explore the world around us.
