Description
This is the drawing of the marble relief from the Ptolemaic period that shows the apotheosis of Homer with Zeus, Apollo & the Muses. The poet is crowned by Time & the World (They are personifications of Ptolemaic king & queen), & acclaimed by other personifications. It is signed by the sculptor Archelaos of Priene. It shows Ptolemy IV & his wife & sister Arsinoe III standing beside a seated poet, flanked by figures from the Odyssey & Iliad, with the nine Muses standing above them & a procession of worshippers approaching an altar, believed to represent the Alexandrine Homereion. Apollo, the god of music & poetry, also appears, along with a female figure tentatively identified as Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses. Zeus, the king of the gods, presides over the proceedings. The relief demonstrates vividly that the Greeks considered Homer not merely a great poet but the divinely-inspired reservoir of all literature.
