EDITORS COMMENTS
Moloch: The Devouring God of Ancient Phoenicia (7th Century BC) This haunting image portrays Moloch, the Phoenician deity to whom live children were sacrificed by fire. Moloch, also known as Molech or Malak, was one of the most enigmatic and controversial gods of the ancient world. Worshipped primarily in the Phoenician cities of Carthage and Sidon, Moloch was believed to have the power to protect and provide for his people, but only if they offered him the most precious of sacrifices – the lives of their own children. The exact nature of Moloch's role and the reasons behind the practice of child sacrifice remain a subject of much debate among scholars. Some believe that it was a desperate attempt to appease the gods during times of drought or war, while others argue that it was a form of social control, a way to ensure the loyalty and obedience of the people. Despite the controversy surrounding Moloch and his customs, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious practices of ancient Phoenicia. The image of the god, depicted here as a large, horned figure with outstretched arms, is both terrifying and intriguing. The flames of the sacrificial pyre burn brightly in the background, casting an ominous glow over the scene. This print, dating back to the 7th century BC, is a poignant reminder of the complex and often disturbing beliefs that shaped the ancient world. It invites us to explore the mysteries of the past and to consider the ways in which our own beliefs and practices have evolved over time.
