EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the epic tale of "Homer: The Odyssey". In this drawing by Willy Pogany, we witness the legendary hero Odysseus turning his plough aside to protect his infant son, Telemachus. Set in ancient times during the 7th and 8th centuries BC, this image beautifully portrays the early Hellenic Republic era. With great attention to detail, Pogany brings to life the iron age setting with its horse-drawn plow and oxen. The illustration showcases not only the physical labor involved in farming but also highlights Odysseus' dedication as a father. The mythological significance of this scene cannot be overlooked either. Odysseus is known for his heroic adventures and cunning intellect, making him one of Greek mythology's most celebrated figures. This depiction emphasizes that even amidst grand quests and perilous journeys, he never forgets his responsibilities as a father. Pogany's artwork masterfully combines poetry and visual storytelling within this single frame. It serves as a reminder of both the timeless power of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" and our universal human connection to family bonds. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where heroes walked among men - an era where love for family triumphed over all obstacles faced by these mythical figures.
