EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology, specifically to the legendary tale of Odysseus and his encounter with the fearsome Cyclops, Polyphemus. The print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts Polyphemus at the entrance of his cave, his massive form illuminated by the flickering light of his fire. With one hand, he brandishes a menacing staff, ready to defend his home against intruders. In the other, he holds a set of pipes, a momentary lapse in his ferocity, perhaps a hint of his softer side as a shepherd. The background of the print is filled with the mystical allure of the sea. Three ethereal sea nymphs gracefully frolic in the waves, their long flowing hair catching the light as they dance. A playful dolphin leaps through the water, adding to the lively scene. The intricate details of the print bring the myth to life, transporting us to a time when gods and monsters roamed the earth. Polyphemus, a one-eyed giant, is a formidable character in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Known for his insatiable appetite and incredible strength, he holds Odysseus and his men captive in his cave. However, it is Odysseus' cunning and intelligence that ultimately leads to Polyphemus' downfall. This print is a beautiful representation of the classical world, a snapshot of history frozen in time. It is a reminder of the rich mythology and folklore that has shaped our culture and continues to inspire artists and storytellers today.
