EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the legendary world of ancient Greece, where the hero Odysseus and his brave men find themselves in a bewildering encounter with a group of strangely tame wild animals. In this scene from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew have been lured to Circe's enchanted island by the sorceress herself. Circe, known for her magical powers, has cast a spell on the men, turning them into animals or rendering them powerless. In this moment, the group stands in awe as a lion gently licks the foot of Eurylochus, one of Odysseus's men, without any signs of fear or aggression. The other animals, including wolves, bears, and wild boars, also display an unusual calmness and docility. The men, once proud warriors, are left amazed and bewildered by this surreal scene. This classical print, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the mythological tales that have shaped Western civilization. The image, filled with wonder and mystery, invites us to explore the depths of Greek mythology and the enduring power of storytelling.
