EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Charles Robinson, titled "Odysseus discovered by Polyphemus" transports us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The scene depicts a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In this gripping illustration for The Adventures of Odysseus retold by Fs Marvin, R J C Mayor, and F M Stanwell in 1910, we witness the legendary hero Odysseus facing imminent danger. Trapped inside the cave of the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus, he is about to be discovered. The artist skillfully captures the tension and fear in Odysseus' face as he realizes his perilous situation. With vivid details and meticulous craftsmanship, Robinson brings this mythical encounter to life. Polyphemus looms over Odysseus with his single eye glaring menacingly at our hero. His massive size and brute strength are evident as he prepares to unleash his wrath upon the intruder who has invaded his domain. As viewers, we are drawn into this dramatic moment where mortal bravery clashes with supernatural power. It serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Through this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded once again why these ancient legends continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
