EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "HOMER: THE ODYSSEY" we witness the thrilling moment when Odysseus cunningly escapes from the clutches of Polyphemus, the menacing Cyclops. Created by the talented artist Willy Pogany in 1918, this drawing beautifully captures a scene from Homer's epic poem. Odysseus, known for his wit and resourcefulness, devises a daring plan to conceal himself under the belly of a ram. As he lies hidden beneath its woolen coat, he evades detection by the giant one-eyed monster who seeks revenge for blinding him. The tension is palpable as Odysseus relies on his quick thinking and bravery to outsmart his formidable foe. Pogany's illustration transports us back to ancient times, immersing us in Greek mythology during the Iron Age. With meticulous attention to detail, he portrays both men with muscular physiques and depicts them nude – an artistic choice that emphasizes their vulnerability against such mythical adversaries. This print not only showcases Pogany's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Homer's timeless masterpiece. The Odyssey remains an enduring symbol of adventure and resilience throughout centuries. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for escape and triumph over adversity. As part of The Granger Collection's vast collection of historical art prints, this piece serves as a visual reminder of humanity's fascination with storytelling and our eternal quest for heroism.
