EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by John Flaxman, we are transported to the ancient world of Greek mythology and literature. The print depicts Juno and Minerva, two powerful goddesses, as they prepare to assist the Greeks in their epic battle against the Trojans during the Trojan War. With a sense of urgency in their eyes, Juno and Minerva are seen riding majestic coursers through the sky. Their presence signifies divine intervention on behalf of the Greeks, offering hope and strength to their mortal allies. Flaxman's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The flowing robes of Juno and Minerva billow behind them as they fly towards their destination. Their graceful postures exude both power and grace. This artwork serves as an illustration for Flaxman's Classical Outlines by John C L Sparkes, a renowned publication that brings classical literature to life through visual representations. It captures a pivotal moment from Homer's Iliad where these two deities join forces with the Greeks. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be drawn into its timeless narrative. It reminds us of the enduring power of mythological tales and how they continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
