Dancing Delphinus Pareo Ocean/Periwinkle

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE

This design is based around ancient Greek art, pottery, poetry and literature. It features a shining, leaping dolphin, representing Delphinus, the selfless saviour of Arion, a character of ancient Greek myth. Delphinus wears a string of golden stars and carries with him a Kithara, the stringed musical instrument of the poet, Arion. Below Delphinus is depicted a wooden trireme, an ancient Greek seafaring vessel, inspired by those described in the Homeric epic, The Iliad. The central feature is surrounded by an arc of nautical details; from shells and iridescent flying fish, to sculpted vessels and vases, all crowned by a shimmering octopus. Ocean-inspired coins from various towns in ancient Greece pepper the perimeter of this design, while the four corners contain terracotta treasures overgrown with vibrant sea flowers. The base of the design holds the eyes of Pallas Athene watching over sweet Delphinus, fallen from a statue in her honour. The full composition is bordered by a detailed design inspired by ancient Greek vase painters.
