EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sacrifice of Codros, King of Athens captured in this stunning print is a powerful depiction of the legendary king's ultimate sacrifice for his people. In the midst of war against the Dorians, Codros learns from an oracle that victory will only come to those whose leader is killed. Without hesitation, he chooses to lay down his own life for the greater good of Athens.
The engraving from "History of the world" by Ridpath in 1885 beautifully portrays this momentous event in ancient Greek history. The image captures the solemnity and gravity of Codros' decision, as well as the reverence with which he is regarded by his people.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the courage and selflessness exhibited by leaders throughout history who have made great sacrifices for their communities. The story of Codros serves as a timeless example of leadership and devotion to one's homeland.
This print not only showcases a significant moment in ancient Greek mythology but also invites us to reflect on our own values and principles. It serves as a poignant reminder that true leadership often requires personal sacrifice for the greater good.
