EDITORS COMMENTS

The image showcases a picturesque landscape, with a majestic tree standing tall on one side, while a charming house sits peacefully by the river's edge. In the foreground, we see an individual riding an elegant horse along the riverbank, adding a touch of movement and life to this serene scene. The significance of this location is not lost on history enthusiasts, as it is believed that Smyrna was the birthplace of none other than Homer himself.
