Ephesus Collection
The Enchanting Story of Ancient
Lands
Ephesus, one of the most
significant and awe-inspiring cities of the ancient world, has been home to
many great civilizations throughout history. Artemis, one of the most important
goddesses of ancient Greek and Roman mythology, was the patron deity of
Ephesus. The cult of Cybele — the Anatolian mother goddess — forms the very
foundation of the Ephesian Artemis. She is defined as a symbol of nature,
hunting, abundance, and fertility. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, was considered one of her most magnificent and
sacred sites.
Rich in both historical
and mythological significance, Ephesus endures today as an archaeological
treasure.
The esDea Ephesus
Collection encompasses many symbols
— from the power of Artemis and the grace of the Library of Celsus, to the bee
as its guardian and Nike, the goddess of victory. The collection also draws
from the founding legend of the city — featuring boar and fish figures — as
well as the abundance represented by amphora forms and the infinite cycle of
the meander motif. Each piece draws inspiration from this legendary land,
bringing the ancient culture of Ephesus into dialogue with a modern aesthetic.
