EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology, specifically to one of the most iconic moments in Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". The artist Willy Pogany beautifully captures the intense struggle faced by Odysseus as he desperately tries to save himself from two formidable sea monsters - Scylla and Charybdis. In this dramatic illustration, we witness Odysseus standing tall on his ship's deck, displaying both courage and determination. His eyes are fixed on the monstrous creatures lurking menacingly in the turbulent waters below. To his left is Scylla, a terrifying six-headed beast ready to snatch any unfortunate sailor who comes too close. On his right is Charybdis, a massive whirlpool capable of swallowing entire ships without mercy. Pogany masterfully depicts the chaotic nature of this life-or-death situation through intricate details such as swirling waves and billowing sails. The viewer can almost feel their heart race alongside Odysseus', empathizing with his perilous journey home after years spent fighting in the Trojan War. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, it serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against overwhelming odds. It also pays homage to Homer's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest storytellers whose words continue to captivate readers across centuries.
