GALACTO SPIRAL
In the night sky, millions of stars gather in groups, forming galaxies, and our solar system, including Earth, is located in one of these galaxies. The Milky Way, or Galaxias Kyklos in Greek, refers to its milky, circular appearance. According to Ancient Greek mythology, Zeus had a son with a mortal woman and named him Heracles (known as Hercules in Roman mythology).
Zeus took his son to Olympus, intending to make Heracles an immortal demigod by having him breastfed by Hera, Zeus’s wife. While Hera was sleeping, Zeus placed the baby on her chest. When Hera woke up and found a strange baby nursing from her, she was startled and pushed Heracles away. The milk from his mouth splattered across the sky, forming the Milky Way.
The legend has been passed down through Greco-Roman imagination, with constellations like Orion formed by grouping stars into pictures in the sky. The clothing worn by the Huntsman was illustrated in various patterns by Greco-Roman artists, reflecting their artistic styles.
The toga is a distinctive garment from Ancient Rome, meaning ‘cloak’ in Latin. It was made from a piece of oval fabric with a diameter of 5-6 meters and a depth of about 2 meters in the middle. The curved edge is adorned with a border. This type of cloak is first draped over the left shoulder, then wrapped around the body, passing under the right armpit, before being draped over the back and brought over the left shoulder again. In the group of toga garments, one of them has edges of the fabric are dyed magenta, a color obtained from the radish plant, and embroidered with gold thread. This style, known as the toga picta, is worn only by kings and high-ranking royals. In contrast, white or black togas are referred to as toga trabea and toga pulla, respectively. At the end of the imperial era, due to the weight and inconvenience of the robe, it was modified to fit the body by wearing the cloth as a belt.
Women’s garments are called stola and come in various colors, including red, blue, yellow, and purple. As for the shoes, they are called baxea, which are leather sandals in Greek style. If the sandals reach up to the knees, they are specifically called calcei. Red leather was reserved exclusively for high-ranking nobles. Shoes also used color to indicate status, occupation, and class.
Art and science connected to Greco-Roman culture, and the cosmos contributed to the creation of Trompe-L’oeil art. This technique involves depiction various sky scenes on fabric, using patterns to create the effects of light and silhouette, much like a Greco-Roman painting. It has also been used to create the concept of “Cheat the Eye” or optical illusions through patterns on fabric. The Facing layer technique creates Forming, producing a special visual effect on the garment within a simple frame.
