EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painted terracotta metope from the Temple of Apollo in Thermos, Greece. Dating back to the 7th century BC, this ancient artifact portrays Philomela, the daughter of Athenian king Pandion. The metope's intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the rich history and artistry of Greek civilization. The image captures Philomela in a side view, her head and shoulders elegantly framed within the vertical composition. Despite its age, the metope has withstood the test of time, although it bears visible cracks that only add to its allure. The wreath adorning Philomela's head symbolizes her status as royalty while also serving as a testament to ancient Greek craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of archeology, we are transported back to an era long gone but not forgotten. The presence of just one woman in this artwork emphasizes Philomela's significance within Greek mythology and society. Greek script can be seen alongside Philomela's figure, further immersing us into the world she once inhabited. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and historical value encapsulated within this small fragment from antiquity
