EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the annals of classical mythology depicts the pivotal moment when Prometheus, the Titan god of creation and craftsmanship, shapes the first man from earth and water. The god's deft hands mold the primordial form, imbuing it with the essence of life. Yet, the figure remains inanimate, devoid of breath and consciousness. Enter Athena, the wisdom goddess and patroness of Athens, who graciously hovers above, ready to bestow the gift of life. With a gentle breath, she imbues the man with the spark of existence, transforming him into a living being. This powerful scene, brimming with the essence of creation and the interplay of life and death, offers a tantalizing alternative to the more commonly known origin story of Adam and Eve. Prometheus, often hailed as the benefactor of mankind, is responsible for the creation of the first man, while Athena, the embodiment of wisdom and life, breathes the breath of life into him. This image, a testament to the richness and depth of classical mythology, invites us to ponder the mysteries of creation and the interconnectedness of life, wisdom, and the divine.
