Another ATC, Greek Mythology
Posted by cassandra , 5.18.2009 Monday, May 18, 2009
I chose a "Greek Mythology" theme from someone's list. I was very inspired by a HUGE tapestry I saw at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. It depicts a scene from mythology showing Artemis bathing with her maidens at a forest pond. Unwittingly, Actaeon comes upon the ladies. He's out hunting with his dogs. Goddesses nudity is held to be of utmost sacredness. Artemis condemns Actaeon to die: she turns him into a stag who is pursued by his own dogs. The original tapestry is amazingly intricate, completed by several women in the 1700s.
