EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1925 depicts the ancient Greek mythological figure, Ixion on the wheel. According to legend, Ixion, the king of the Lapiths, committed a heinous crime by killing his father-in-law and further enraged Zeus with his audacity. As punishment for his actions, Ixion was condemned to an eternity of torment on a burning wheel. The image captures the essence of this timeless tale as it showcases Ixion bound to the fiery wheel in agonizing perpetuity. The monochrome effect adds depth and intensity to this haunting scene, emphasizing both the severity of his punishment and its eternal nature. Taken from "The Book of Myths" by Amy Cruse in 1925, this photograph is part of the Historica Graphica Collection that beautifully preserves historical moments through visual storytelling. It transports us back to ancient Greece where mythical legends were born and revered. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with mythology and our collective desire to understand concepts such as justice and divine retribution. Through artistry and symbolism, this photograph invites us into a world where kings clash with gods and mortals face consequences beyond imagination. With each passing decade since its creation in the roaring twenties, this print continues to captivate viewers across generations - a testament to its enduring appeal.
