EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, published in 1880, transports us back to the realm of Greek mythology. The scene depicted is none other than the perilous encounter between Ulysses (Odysseus) and the dreaded Scylla. As we gaze upon this print, we witness a moment of great tragedy unfold. Ulysses, known for his cunning and bravery, finds himself facing an unimaginable challenge as he navigates through treacherous waters. Six of his loyal companions stand by his side on their ship, unaware of the impending danger that lurks ahead. The tension in the air is palpable as they approach Scylla's lair. The artist masterfully captures this climactic moment with intricate details etched into every stroke. The waves crash against the vessel while dark clouds loom ominously overhead. Ulysses stands tall at the helm, determined yet burdened by responsibility. In stark contrast to our hero's resolute stance, Scylla emerges from her watery abode – a monstrous creature with multiple heads and razor-sharp teeth ready to claim its victims. Fear grips both men and beasts alike as they realize their fate hangs precariously in balance. This wood engraving not only showcases artistic skill but also serves as a reminder of ancient civilizations' fascination with heroic tales and mythical creatures. It invites us to delve deeper into Greek mythology's rich tapestry where mortals dared to challenge gods and face extraordinary trials. As we contemplate
