Created by Henry Justice Ford, this print beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the epic tale of Ulysses and his arduous journey home from Troy. The scene depicts Calypso, a nymph known for her beauty and enchanting voice, showing compassion towards Ulysses. As the legendary hero sits despondently on a rocky shore, Calypso's expression reveals both sympathy and understanding. Her outstretched hand symbolizes her willingness to offer solace to the weary traveler. This image is an illustration for Andrew Lang's "Tales of Troy and Greece" published in 1907.
