Derived from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, this artwork is housed in the esteemed collection of the Bardo Museum in Tunisia. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this mosaic transport viewers to a time when heroes embarked on perilous journeys across vast seas. In this scene, Ulysses stands tall at the helm of his sailing ship, surrounded by his loyal crew.
