EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Henry Justice Ford depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Ulysses, when he was just a young warrior. The scene captures the intense battle between Ulysses and a formidable wild boar, resulting in a deep wound on his thigh. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the determination and bravery of Ulysses as he confronts this fearsome creature. The intensity of the fight is palpable, with every stroke of Ford's engraving capturing the raw energy and danger that permeates this ancient myth. Ulysses' youthfulness adds an intriguing layer to this portrayal, emphasizing his early encounters with adversity and foreshadowing his future exploits during the Trojan War. This image serves as a reminder that even heroes have humble beginnings, facing challenges head-on from their earliest days. Ford's work also offers us insight into ancient Greek culture and mythology. It transports us back to Troy and Greece, where such tales were revered for their moral lessons and entertainment value. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Ulysses' physical injury but also of our own capacity for resilience in times of hardship. It serves as a testament to human strength in overcoming obstacles – both real and metaphorical – throughout history.
