EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable lead plaque that takes us back in time to the ancient city of Corinth. The plaque, adorned with exquisite Corinthian Boustrophon script, is now housed at the Ioannina Museum in Epirus, Greece. Against a striking black background, the artifact stands out with its intricate lettering and capital letters. The inscription on the plaque reveals an intriguing question posed by Hermon to the oracle at Dodona. Seeking guidance on how to have additional children with his wife Kretma, beyond those they already have, Hermon turns to this divine source for answers. The image beautifully captures this moment frozen in history. The color and texture of the lead plaque add depth and authenticity to this studio shot. Its weathered appearance tells tales of countless generations who sought wisdom from oracles like Dodona. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back to a time when people relied on supernatural forces for guidance and direction. Through this photograph, we are reminded of our human desire for knowledge and understanding – a universal quest that transcends time and place. It serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to ancient civilizations and their belief systems. This image is not just an ordinary snapshot; it is an invitation into a world where questions were asked directly to gods through oracles like Dodona - an extraordinary glimpse into humanity's eternal search for answers.
