EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Greece, dating back to the 3rd century BC. The image depicts Pluto, also known as Hades in Greek mythology, accompanied by two significant creatures: Cerberus and an eagle. Pluto, the god of the underworld and ruler of the dead, is portrayed with great detail and artistry. His male likeness exudes power and authority, reflecting his divine status. Standing beside him is Cerberus, the mythical three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. This fearsome creature symbolizes protection and serves as a reminder of the afterlife's mysteries. Perched on Pluto's other side is an eagle, representing Zeus' messenger bird in Greek mythology. With its majestic wings spread wide open, it adds an element of gracefulness to this composition. The marble sculpture captures not only these mythical beings but also reflects the artistic brilliance prevalent during that era in Greece. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into this historic artifact. This print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces and provides insight into ancient Greek beliefs about deities and their roles within society. It serves as a window into a time long gone but still resonates with our fascination for mythology today.
