This encounter gives rise to a fundamental bond that will prove decisive for the course of ancient history.\u003cbr\u003eThis scene symbolizes mastery through intelligence, understanding of the world, and the birth of a great conqueror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePallas Athena\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, embodies a female figure of power, independence, and justice.\u003cbr\u003eAdorned with her attributes, she imposes order and balance in the world of gods and men.\u003cbr\u003eAfter defeating the giant Pallas, she dons his skin and crushes him against the rock with the help of Heracles. Holding the statue of the goddess Nike, she symbolizes victory through intelligence and law.\u003cbr\u003eThis representation pays homage to Gustav Klimt's The Wonderful Athena, blending ancient art and reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUlysses and Polyphemus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if Ulysses had listened to his crew?\u003cbr\u003eIf he hadn't shouted his name to the winds after blinding Polyphemus, would he have escaped Poseidon's curse?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this scene, the hero of the Odyssey displays his legendary cunning. Knowing that the blind cyclops would feel the fleece of his animals before letting them out, Odysseus clung to the belly of a sheep and managed to escape.\u003cbr\u003eOn the horizon, the sky darkened: Poseidon, Polyphemus' father, was preparing his long-awaited revenge on the Mediterranean Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGilgamesh and Humbaba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his epic, Gilgamesh, king of Babylon, meets Enkidu, sent by the gods to curb his excesses.\u003cbr\u003eTheir confrontation with Humbaba, guardian of the Cedar Forest and the divine kingdom, ends with the defeat of the demonic giant, who begs for mercy.\u003cbr\u003eEncouraged by Enkidu, Gilgamesh nevertheless chooses to kill him. This act will have painful consequences, but they are necessary for the Babylonian hero's evolution towards a deeper wisdom.\u003cbr\u003eThe position of Gilgamesh's hands echoes the Strength card in the Tarot of Marseille: man masters the animal creature through consciousness and will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt prints on 290 gsm Hahnemühle hemp paper accompanied by a paper envelope, perfect for gift giving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable individually\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge format: 5.8 × 8.2 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall format: 4 × 5.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet of 4 handcrafted, laminated cards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated back + custom illumination\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting at €75 for a set of 4 handmade cards measuring 8.6x13.3cm (adjustable size)\u003cbr\u003e👉 Please contact me for this special edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kartograme","offers":[{"title":"Small 10x15cm \/ Alexander and Bucephalus","offer_id":53280708526413,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 10x15cm \/ Polymus and Ulysses","offer_id":53280708559181,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 10x15cm \/ Pallas Athena","offer_id":53280708591949,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 10x15cm \/ Gilgamesh and Humbaba","offer_id":53280708624717,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 21x14.8cm \/ Alexander and Bucephalus","offer_id":53280708657485,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 21x14.8cm \/ Polymus and Ulysses","offer_id":53280708690253,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 21x14.8cm \/ Pallas Athena","offer_id":53280708723021,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 21x14.8cm \/ Gilgamesh and Humbaba","offer_id":53280708755789,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/2611\/2077\/files\/kartograme-france-alexandre-le-grand-bucephale-myriorama_jpg.jpg?v=1769773122","url":"https:\/\/www.kartograme.com\/en\/products\/myriorama-de-lantiquite","provider":"Kartograme","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
