EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The sea pitched him right over his shoulder on the ground" we are transported to a world of ancient heroes and mythical tales. The image, captured by George Soper in 1929, is part of a collection called "The Heroes" published by George Allen and Unwin. At first glance, we witness a fierce battle taking place between two formidable figures. Clad in intricate armor and wielding powerful weapons, these warriors engage in an intense wrestling match. They represent the epitome of strength and valor that permeates Greek folklore. The central figure, identified as Theseus - the legendary king known for slaying the Minotaur - finds himself at a disadvantage as he is thrown forcefully over his opponent's shoulder. The sea serves as their battleground, adding an element of unpredictability to their struggle. This evocative scene not only showcases Soper's artistic talent but also transports us back to an era where gods walked among mortals and heroes rose above adversity. It reminds us of the timeless power behind myths and legends that have shaped our collective imagination throughout history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the enduring allure of heroic tales that continue to captivate audiences across generations.
