EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration captures a pivotal moment in the Greek fairy tale of Theseus and the Devourers of Men. As he gazes upon the scene before him, fear grips his heart, causing him to shrink and shudder. The artist skillfully portrays this sense of trepidation through the use of color lithography. In this particular image, we witness a grand feast taking place in the opulent hall of King Aegeus. Unbeknownst to everyone present, Medea, disguised as a servant, cunningly plots her wicked scheme. She offers poisoned wine and a suspicious tunic to an unsuspecting hero who remains wary amidst the festivities. The banquet room is filled with male and female guests indulging in their mealtime delights while Medea's sorcery unfolds discreetly. The atmosphere is charged with tension as each character plays their part in this intricate plot. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, depicting every element from dining utensils to cloaks and sandals strewn about. A pitcher filled with poison stands ominously on one side while a club rests nearby - symbols of danger lurking beneath seemingly innocent actions. This mesmerizing print transports us into the world of Greek mythology where heroes face formidable challenges at every turn. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder that even within moments of celebration, one must remain vigilant against unseen threats.
