Odysseus Plowing Shore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enigmatic image from ancient Greek mythology, depicted in this beautiful print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene showcases the legendary hero Odysseus, renowned for his cunning and perseverance, as he engages in an unusual and seemingly impossible task: plowing the shoreline. According to Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, Odysseus was stranded on the shore of the island Scheria, longing to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. In order to appease the goddesses who had kept him from his homeland, he was instructed to pretend that he was plowing the land, rather than the sea, to show his commitment to agriculture and the domestic life he would resume once he reached Ithaca. In this print, Odysseus is depicted with a determined expression, driving a horse and plow along the water's edge. The horse, with its powerful muscles and flowing mane, seems to strain against the water, while the waves crash around them. The scene is filled with a sense of tension and anticipation, as if the moment of Odysseus's return home is just beyond the horizon. The rich colors and intricate details of the print bring the myth to life, transporting the viewer to a time when gods and heroes walked the earth. This print is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the human spirit.
