This engraving titled "Apollo, with Lyre and Griffin" transports us back to the 19th century, where mythological figures and classical antiquities held a profound fascination. The artwork depicts Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, accompanied by a majestic griffin as he skillfully plays his lyre. The intricate details of this print showcase the artist's mastery in capturing both the divine beauty of Apollo and the mythical allure of the griffin.

It serves as an illustrative representation of ancient Greek mythology within this comprehensive reference work. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are reminded of the rich tapestry that was woven through centuries past - a world filled with gods, heroes, and legends.
