EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a scene filled with mythical characters and historical references. Entitled "Rhea, or Cybele, Satyr, Silenus, Sisyphus" this print is an illustration for William Smith's A Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography. The image showcases a wonderful array of figures from Greek mythology. Rhea or Cybele, the mother goddess in ancient Greek religion, takes center stage surrounded by satyrs and sileni. These half-human creatures are known for their wild behavior and association with wine and revelry. The inclusion of Sisyphus adds another layer to the narrative as he was condemned to endlessly roll a boulder uphill in Hades. The intricate details captured by the engraver transport us back to ancient Greece while also reflecting the artistic style prevalent during the 19th century. The use of black and white enhances the dramatic effect of this composition. This print serves as a reminder of Europe's rich history and its enduring fascination with classical mythology. It invites viewers to explore these timeless stories that continue to captivate our imagination today. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into both European artistry and mythological storytelling that has stood the test of time.
