EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Odysseus in the Land of the Dead" transports viewers into the realm of Greek mythology. Created by Newell Convers Wyeth in 1929, this print captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this scene, Odysseus, the legendary hero of Troy and protagonist of The Odyssey, ventures into the underworld to seek guidance from Tiresias, a blind prophet. As he navigates through the shadowy land of spirits and ghosts, Odysseus wields his sword with determination and courage. Wyeth's masterful use of color brings life to this mythological tale. The vibrant hues highlight both the ethereal nature of the spirit world and Odysseus' heroic presence amidst it all. "The Odyssey" holds immense significance in Western literature as one of its oldest surviving works. It serves as a sequel to Homer's other great epic poem, "The Iliad" chronicling Odysseus' arduous journey home after the Trojan War. This lithograph not only captures an iconic moment from ancient Greek mythology but also showcases Wyeth's artistic prowess in bringing these timeless tales to life visually. With each stroke on paper, he invites us to delve deeper into our collective human imagination where gods and heroes intertwine with mortal lives.
