The legend<\/p>\n
A glorious city was the bone of contention between two powerful gods. The God of the Sea, Poseidon and Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, each one wanted the city to be named after themselves. The divine conflict was fierce so Zeus declared that each god had to make an offer to the citizens. Poseidon lifted his trident and struck the rock of the Acropolis where sea water burst out. \u201cIt will warn you of upcoming storms. Your city will conquer the seas\u201d, he said. Athena knelt and touched the ground where an olive tree started to grow. \u201cFor food, oil, wood and light. Your city will become the symbol of civilazation\u201d. Despite the rage of Poseidon, Athena\u2019s gift was preferred and ever since the city is called Athens.<\/p>\n
The pieces<\/p>\n
Greek sculptors loved to recreate this divine conflict through their art. The King is a replica of the famous statue \u201cPoseidon of Melos\u201d (2nd cent. B.C.), and the Queen represents the glorious \u201cAthena Promachos\u201d (450 B.C., Acropolis Museum). A bronze Hellenistic statue has inspired the Bishop, and the Knight is a part of the marble facade of the Parthenon sculptured by Pheidias. The rook is a reproduction of one of the most admirable Attic stele devoted to young Aristion who died in battle. Finally, the Pawn is a bronze statue of a fully armed warrior in 500 B.C.<\/p>\n
