EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bizarre and unbelievable tale of Drunk Zeno, the Byzantine Emperor who was mistakenly buried alive due to his notorious reputation for excessive drinking. In a twist of fate, Zeno's intoxicated state led to a grave misunderstanding when he was thought to be dead and laid to rest in his tomb. However, as eerie sounds began emanating from the burial site, it became clear that all was not as it seemed. Zeno's quick-witted wife Ariadne refused to believe her husband had truly passed away and urged onlookers not to dismiss the mysterious noises coming from his supposed final resting place. The historical significance of this event in 491 cannot be understated, shedding light on the dangers of intemperance and excess in a society where indulgence often led to dire consequences. The story of Drunk Zeno serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of overindulgence in food and drink, reminding us that even those in positions of power are not immune to their vices. As we gaze upon this remarkable image depicting an emperor nearly meeting his end due to his own reckless behavior, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of moderation in all things.
