This print takes us back in time to ancient Turkey, specifically Bergama, where we are presented with a mesmerizing detail of the frieze from the Pergamon altar. Dating back to the 2nd century B. C. , this remarkable piece of Hellenistic art showcases a fierce battle between a giant adorned with a lion head and the powerful Goddess Aether. The ornate carving, despite being damaged over time, still exudes an undeniable sense of history and mythology. The vertical bas relief depicts the epic struggle between these two mythical beings, symbolizing strength and power in ancient Greek culture. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we can't help but marvel at the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring work of art. The male likeness portrayed by the giant further adds to its enigmatic allure. Although incomplete due to its age, this fragmentary representation transports us to an era long gone – reminding us of ancient civilizations and their rich cultural heritage. Animal symbolism is also prevalent here as we witness the lion head on display.
