This poignant painting captures both love and sacrifice within Greek mythology. Athena takes center stage as she guides Telemachus in his quest for Odysseus. The vibrant lithograph brings forth Athena's wisdom and guidance amidst epic adventures. Homer himself comes alive through an enchanting engraving from 1731. As one of Greece's greatest poets and author of both the Iliad and Odyssey, Homer immortalizes tales that continue to captivate readers across generations.
