EDITORS COMMENTS
Mithridate, the King of Pontus, and his sons Pharnaces and Xiphares, as depicted in a 17th-century print by the French playwright Jean Racine. This image, created in 1673, is a visual representation of Racine's famous play "Mithridate," which tells the story of the ancient king's desperate attempts to protect his kingdom and family from the Roman conqueror Lucullus. Mithridate, portrayed here with a regal and determined expression, is shown surrounded by his loyal soldiers and his two sons, Pharnaces and Xiphares. Pharnaces, the elder son, stands to the king's right, his hand on his father's shoulder in a gesture of support and loyalty. Xiphares, the younger son, stands to the left, his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to defend his family and kingdom. Racine's "Mithridate" was a groundbreaking work in the history of French theatre. It marked a departure from the traditional classical forms of the time and helped establish the modern French drama. The play's themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle for power resonated deeply with audiences and continue to be relevant today. This print provides a visual record of a pivotal moment in the history of both French theatre and the ancient world. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless nature of human emotion and struggle.
