EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Odyssey: Circe and the swine" takes us on a visual journey through ancient Greek mythology. Created by Newell Convers Wyeth, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The scene depicts the enchantress Circe transforming Odysseus' crew into swine with her magical powers. Wyeth's meticulous attention to detail brings this mythical encounter to life, as we witness the bewildered expressions on the faces of the men-turned-swine. This artwork was originally commissioned as an illustration for George Herbert Palmer's translation of The Odyssey in 1929. It showcases Wyeth's skillful ability to capture both human emotion and mythological elements within his work. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece, where gods and goddesses reigned supreme and heroic tales unfolded. The story of Odysseus' encounter with Circe serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability when faced with temptation and our capacity for transformation. Displayed in a private collection, this print invites us to delve deeper into classical mythology and explore its timeless themes. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, it sparks our imagination and ignites our curiosity about these enduring stories that continue to captivate audiences today.
