Greek Mythology Chess Set

Immerse yourself in the epic tales of ancient Greek mythology with the Handcrafted Greek Mythology Chess Set. This medium-sized set features gold and silver chessmen crafted from solid brass, beautifully arranged on a 36cm bronze chessboard, celebrating the legendary conflict between the gods Poseidon and Athena.

The Legend: A glorious city was the bone of contention between two powerful gods: Poseidon, the God of the Sea, and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. Each desired the city to be named after themselves. Zeus declared that each god must offer a gift to the citizens. Poseidon struck the rock of the Acropolis with his trident, causing sea water to burst forth, symbolising naval supremacy. Athena, on the other hand, planted an olive tree, offering food, oil, wood, and light, symbolising civilisation. The citizens chose Athena's gift, naming the city Athens, much to Poseidon's rage.
