All about the product

Greek mythology metal chess set with golden and silver chess pieces / red chess board 34 cm

**Legend**

The glorious city was the bone of contention between two powerful gods. The sea god, Poseidon, and the goddess of wisdom, Athena, each wanted the city to be named after themselves. The divine conflict was fierce, so Zeus declared that each god must present an offer to the citizens. Poseidon raised his trident and struck the rock of the Acropolis, from which seawater gushed forth.

"He will warn you of impending storms. Your city will conquer the seas," he said.

Athena knelt and touched the ground, where an olive tree began to grow. "For food, oil, wood, and light. Your city will become a symbol of civilization." Despite Poseidon's anger, Athena's gift was favored, and from then on the city was called Athens.

**Chess pieces**

Greek sculptors loved to recreate this divine conflict in their art:
- The King is a replica of the famous Melos Poseidon (2nd century BC) statue
- The Queen is the glorious "Athena Promachos" (450 BC, Acropolis Museum).
- The bronze Hellenistic statue inspired the bishop
- The Knight is part of Phidias's sculpture from the Parthenon's marble facade
- The Castle is a replica of one of the most magnificent attic stelai dedicated to the young Aristion who fell in battle.
- The Pawn is a bronze statue of a fully armed warrior from 500 BC.
