EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the legendary encounter between the hero Odysseus and the monstrous Scylla, as depicted in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this scene, the six-headed monster, who lived in a cave next to the treacherous whirlpool Charybdis, launches an attack on Odysseus' men as they navigate the narrow strait between Italy and Sicily. The men are shown clinging to the ship's mast and rigging, their faces etched with fear and desperation, as they are torn between the jaws of the fearsome creature. Scylla, a mythical figure from ancient Greek mythology, was said to be the daughter of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Crice, a sorceress. Her monstrous form, with six heads, twelve feet, and a tail that could lash out like a serpent, was a terrifying sight to behold. According to the legend, she would snatch sailors from their ships and devour them, leaving only their bones behind. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the raw power and terror of this ancient myth, transporting us back to a time when gods and monsters roamed the earth and the sea. The classical and historical significance of this scene makes it a must-have for any collection of mythological art or ancient history. The intricate details of the ship, the men, and the monster itself, are a testament to the skill of the artist and the enduring power of the story of Odysseus and Scylla.
