EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient mythology, the agile Roman god Mercury is depicted in the act of commanding the enchanting nymph Calypso to release the hero Odysseus from her island prison. The scene is derived from Book V of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Mercury, the swift-footed messenger of the gods, is shown in his Roman attire, wearing a winged cap, a cloak, and carrying his caduceus, the symbol of commerce, medicine, and travel. With a determined expression and a raised index finger, Mercury conveys the urgency of his decree to Calypso, who is depicted as a beautiful and voluptuous nymph, seated on a rocky shore, surrounded by the lush vegetation of her island. Calypso, who had kept Odysseus captive for seven years, is shown with a look of resignation, as she reluctantly lets go of the hero's hand, signaling her acceptance of Mercury's command. Odysseus, who is shown in the background, is eager to leave the island and return to his homeland, Ithaca, and his long-suffering wife Penelope. This evocative print, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us back to a time when gods and heroes walked the earth, and mythology held the power to inspire and captivate the human imagination. It is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient mythology and the timeless themes of love, desire, and the power of the gods.
