"Pergamum: A Tapestry of Myth and Power" Step into the ancient city of Pergamum, where Greek mythology comes to life through magnificent sculptures and altars. The Pergamon Altar stands tall, depicting epic battles between gods and giants. Witness Athena's fierce determination as she clashes with the formidable Alcyoneus, while Hephaistos and Eos gracefully ride a horse in perfect harmony. Marvel at Hecate's strength as she combats the colossal Klytios, showcasing her unwavering power. The 2nd Century BC Acropolis Altar takes us back to an era of antiquity, reminding us of the rich history that unfolded within these walls. Greek art flourishes in Asia Minor, exemplified by the colossal head of a youth from Pergamon. Its intricate details captivate our imagination and transport us to a time long gone. Rhea or Cybele confidently rides on a lion nearby, symbolizing her divine authority. Artemis and Leto join forces against Otos, their unity radiating from every stroke carved into stone. Meanwhile, Leto and Apollo stand strong against Tityos - their valor evident in each chiseled muscle. Amongst these mythical beings emerges goddess Nyx or one of the Erinyes; her enigmatic presence adds an air of mystery to this sacred place. And there it is – Alexander the Great's noble visage preserved for eternity in marble – his legacy immortalized even after centuries have passed. Aether embraces Uranus on another corner of the altar - two celestial entities entwined forever in cosmic harmony. Lastly, witness Helios' majestic horse-drawn carriage charging towards yet another giant - an awe-inspiring display that showcases both beauty and might. Pergamum beckons you to explore its mythological tapestry woven with skillful hands throughout ancient ages past.
