EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MYTHOLOGY: MINOTAUR" takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image is a drawing inspired by a Corinthian amphora from the 5th century B. C, showcasing the legendary creature known as the Minotaur. Silhouetted against a dark background, this artwork exudes an aura of mystery and intrigue. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this mythical being - half human, half bull - with its muscular body and prominent horns. The Minotaur's imposing presence is felt through its powerful stance and intense gaze. The significance of this mythological figure lies in its origin story within Greek mythology. According to legend, it was born from the union between Pasiphae, Queen of Crete, and a sacred bull sent by Poseidon. Imprisoned within the Labyrinth on Crete, it became a fearsome monster that devoured young men until Theseus bravely ventured into its lair to slay it. This artwork serves as a reminder of how deeply embedded these tales were in ancient societies like Rome and Greece. It reflects their fascination with fantastical creatures and their belief in gods who played active roles in shaping human destiny. As we admire this striking depiction, we are transported back to an era where myths held great power over people's imaginations – an era when stories like that of the Minotaur captivated audiences across generations.
