Where it came from
The Birth of Meletis was originally released in the 2020 Magic: The Gathering expansion Theros Beyond Death, a set themed around Greek mythology and the afterlife. It serves as a Saga, a card type introduced to represent legendary stories and historical events within the game's multiverse, capturing the mythic founding of the city of Meletis as depicted in Therosian lore.
The artwork was illustrated by Magali Villeneuve, a prominent artist in the fantasy genre known for her expressive character work. Her design for this piece focuses on the architectural and cultural emergence of the city, utilizing a painterly style that emphasizes the divine inspiration and scholarly pursuit central to the identity of Meletis within the game's setting. The card's inclusion in 'The List' is part of a curated selection of reprints that allows older or themed cards to circulate in newer product boosters, maintaining the visibility of foundational cards across different sets.
