Description

Title: “ISSO, ESSA E O’MALAMENT”

Even in ancient Greece there was something Neapolitan in their drama. A beautiful theater company were the Olympians. They were on Mount Olympus, their luxury residence and these gods spent their lives drinking and eating and indulging in all the pleasures of life. The artist Alessandro Siviglia is dedicating a genuine series on Greek myths and above all on their stories. The painting entitled “ISSO, ESSA O’MALAMENT” reminds the artist of the story of Ephesus, the god of fire. Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera and when his mother saw him she threw him from Olympus because of his deformed appearance and his leg problem, he was lame in fact he could walk only with the help of a stick, he fell into the ocean and was raised by the Nereids Teti and Eurinome, the cave was his shelter. Ephesus built a magical throne and gave it to his mother Hera but when she sat down on it she got trapped, all the gods begged Hephaestus to set his mother free but he refused to do it. One day before Dionysus made him drunk then he tied him up and he forced him to free Hera but when he got Hera free he pretented to be recognized as a God of Olympus. There was a marriage between Hephaestus and Aphrodite but the goddess of beauty was against this because Hephaestus was ugly, in fact Aphrodite betrayed him with Ares the god of war. Hephaestus tired of his wife’s betrayals and one day he found them out together so he trapped them under a wire mesh then tired of his wife ‘s betrayals and the teasing by all the Gods he returned to Earth , in the bowels of Mount Etna, and he decided to leave Olympus forever. The artist in this painting depicts the moment when Hephaestus captures ARES and Aphrodite with his wire mesh while they were together so he takes revenge by calling all the Gods of Olympus to show them the betrayal. But the Gods in front of this spectacol make

fun of Hephaestus and mock him. A large-scale painting on Greek mythology, the painting represents the betrayal of Aphrodite, nudity and lust, the anger unleashed by the betrayal and the shame of receiving it in front of the crowd that observes and mocks.
