Histoires De Carres > Autumn-Winter 2022

The animals from Greek mythology - a tiger, a peacock, a bull, and a python, along with a centaur and winged horse - form a joyful ring around an ancient olive tree. Some dance, while others sleep under the branches of bay, pomegranate, apple, and Aleppo pine trees. Orpheus, the hero of this scarf, is the master of extravagance and wine, as well as of wisdom, music and rhythm. A disciple of both Dionysus and Apollo, he is the poet's poet, a shaman and magician who, with his lyre, can bewitch the world and move even the gods of the Underworld.
