The sea, with its timeless mystery, has always intrigued and challenged us.
In the Galleria Borghese, among the Roman mosaics of the Egyptian Room, the sea takes shape in the faces of its ancient deities.
There’s Oceanus, the old father of all waters, guardian of life and its secrets. Then there’s Nereus, the god of calm waters and safe harbors, symbolizing hope and new beginnings, inviting us to explore the unknown.
But that’s not all: amidst the waves, a Nereid, a beautiful nymph, emerges from the unfathomable depths to calm the stormy seas and guide sailors to safety.
Yet after immersing ourselves in this sea of stories and deities, how do we find our way?
The answer may be right above us: just look up, and the vault of the Egyptian Room might show us the way.
