EDITORS COMMENTS
Arion on a Dolphin," a captivating mythological scene from ancient Greece, is depicted in this exquisite print. The image showcases the legendary poet Arion astride a noble dolphin, gracefully navigating the waves off the coast of Calicetus (now known as Calicut), India. Arion, a renowned poet and charioteer from the city of Corinth, was once returning from a victorious chariot race in Sicily. En route, he was ambushed by his ungrateful servant who intended to steal Arion's valuable horse. Desperate and with no other means of escape, Arion called upon the gods for help. Poseidon, the god of the sea, answered his plea and sent a dolphin to rescue him. The dolphin, a symbol of strength, agility, and grace, carried Arion across the sea, saving him from danger. The poet clung onto the dolphin's back, his arms wrapped around its sleek body as they leaped through the waves. The image captures the moment of their miraculous journey, with Arion's flowing robes billowing in the wind and the sun casting a golden glow over the scene. This print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back to the classical world, allowing us to witness the magical encounter between a poet and a dolphin. The myth of Arion and the dolphin is a testament to the power of the gods and the enduring bond between man and nature. The print, with its timeless beauty and captivating story, is a treasure for any art collection, evoking a sense of wonder and admiration for the myths and legends of ancient Greece.
