EDITORS COMMENTS
In the enchanting realm of mythology and astronomy, the captivating figure of Callisto emerges as a celestial goddess and a symbol of enduring love. Daughter of the ancient Lycaon, Callisto was beloved by Jupiter, the king of gods. Their clandestine relationship was discovered by Jupiter's wife, Juno, leading to a series of transformations that ultimately placed Callisto among the stars as the constellation Ursa Major, or the Great Bear. This artistic, figurative impression of the Great Bear, created in 1933, offers a striking visual representation of Callisto's mythical story. The elegant woman, dressed in flowing robes, gazes serenely into the night sky, her hand gently cradling the head of a majestic polar bear. The arctic ice and night sky serve as a breathtaking backdrop, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. The image, created by the talented illustrator Marjorie Miller, masterfully captures the essence of Callisto's mythical transformation. The goddess's ethereal beauty and the tamed polar bear symbolize the power of love and the enduring bond between the divine and the natural world. This illustration is a testament to the timeless allure of mythology and the imaginative storytelling that has captivated generations. The Great Bear, as depicted in this illustration, is a mesmerizing sight in the night sky, reminding us of the rich tapestry of stories and legends that have shaped human culture and understanding of the universe. The image invites us to explore the depths of our collective imagination and to marvel at the beauty and mystery of the cosmos.
