In this print titled "MYTHOLOGY: DAGON" we are transported back to the ancient world of the Philistines. The image showcases an exquisite illustration of Dagon, the chief god worshipped by these ancient people. With its roots in Assyrian mythology, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this marine deity. The engraving depicts a majestic figure with a human upper body and a fish-like tail, commonly known as a merman. Dagon stands tall and commanding, exuding power and authority over his realm. His presence is both awe-inspiring and mysterious, leaving us intrigued by the depths of his influence on ancient cultures.
