EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Greek mythology, Calypso, the enchantress nymph, is depicted showing compassion towards the weary and homesick Odysseus. The scene represents a pivotal moment in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, where Calypso, who had previously kept Odysseus as her lover on her magical island for seven years, decides to grant him the opportunity to return to his beloved wife, Penelope. Odysseus, the legendary hero of the Odyssey, had been separated from his wife and his Ithacan kingdom for a decade, having been held captive by the sorceress Circe and then stranded on Calypso's island. Homesick and longing for his family, Odysseus pleaded with Calypso to allow him to continue his journey home. Moved by his heartfelt words, Calypso agreed to build him a raft and provide him with supplies, setting him free to sail back to Ithaca. This historical image, captured by the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the classical world and offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of mythology that has shaped Western civilization.
