EDITORS COMMENTS
This image portrays Odysseus, the legendary Greek hero, being entertained by Alcinous, the gracious ruler of the Phaiacians, on the enchanting island of Scheria. The scene is set under a Thessalian-style umbrella, where Alcinous' wife, Arete, and their daughter, Nausicaa, listen intently to Odysseus' tales of adventure. The hero, dressed in a cap, mantle, and tunic intricately embroidered by Nausicaa, appears both weary and content. The richness of Alcinous' court is evident in the opulent surroundings, with an attendant holding a mirror and a servant adjusting Odysseus' fillet. A winged genius hovers above, adding a touch of divine approval to the scene. The intricate details of the ancient vase, depicted by Pierre-Francois Hugues d'Hancarville, provide a vivid backdrop to this moment of relaxation and hospitality. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842. The illustration offers a glimpse into the historical fashion and cultural practices of ancient Greece, providing a fascinating connection to the past.
