The Morning After "He Greatly Daring Dined" 1843-47 Hill and Adamson British, Scottish In this cleverly staged scenario, Hill (seated) appears to be suffering the effects of a hangover. Holding the artists hand and fixing him with a disapproving look is his friend James Miller, a temperance reformer and professor of surgery at Edinburgh University. The Roman bust between them—by Hills friend John Stevens—seems to be turning away from the artist in disgust. The title of the photograph is apun based on the epitaph on Phaethons tomb from Ovids Metamorphoses: “Here Phaethon lies who in the sun-gods chariot fared. And though greatly he failed, more greatly he dared.” In Greek mythology, Zeus struck down Apollos son Phaethon after he lost control of his fathers chariot. Hill may have recognized himself in the doomed figure of Phaethon as he attempted to harness and control the power of the sun to create his photographs.. The Morning After "He Greatly Daring Dined".
