library came up with a idea of visual story telling and lead himself as a hero he
Ashurbanipal become a hero of the story of that story and by making some
images a lion in cage and above his cage a man opens a cages and lion run
toward the Ashurbanipal lion struck by a arrow in middle and in the end
Ashurbanipal himself finishes the lion by sword stepped through his body
But this type of story doesn’t have a emotion on the images and for that emotions another civilization
at northern side of Mediterranean Sea
To the northern side of Mediterranean Sea another civilization of a rich tradition of vivid story
telling, it’s a civilization that left us with most exciting and visually arresting story that ever
been told who else but Greeks were the one.
If any civilization could care about the story telling where people could believe in then the
Greeks could. Greeks were obsessed by the those story, myths and other myths that greeks
like to visualise are the homeless tail of Decius.
In that story a giant cyclope one eyed cannibal trapped the Decius and his shipmates in the
caves. Decius had a plan to escape from him, he offered the monster a wine and he accepted
after that monster liked the drink and he asked Decius what's his name Decius say they call
me nobody then monster reply to Decius ‘well then I should eat you at last of them all that’s is
you reward’ after sometimes cyclope become drowsy to drink and slumped to floor of the
cave. Decius and his mates sees their chances and they drive the stick into the single eye of
the giant cyclope. But the sculpture chose to show the moment of maximum tension just
before the climax to reveal the emotions. After that blind cyclope staggered around the caves
shouting for help from his other giants cyclopes friends but what he was shouting was ‘nobody
is attacking me nobody is attacking’.
