EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Greek artifact that dates back to 520 BC. The image features a stunning Attic plate adorned with red figures and signed by the renowned artist Epictetos. Measuring 19 cm in diameter, this remarkable piece is housed in the Office of Medals at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The plate depicts a mythical creature known as a satyr, holding two pipes of the aulos, a musical instrument popular during ancient times.

This intriguing portrayal highlights both the playful nature and eroticism often associated with these mythical beings. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into ancient Greek mythology and paganism. It offers us insight into their rich cultural heritage where music played an important role in religious rituals and daily life.
