EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief, a representation of Ulysses and Eurycleia from Roman art, showcases the rich history and intricate storytelling found in ancient Roman sculpture. Discovered in Rome, Italy, in the region of Lazio, this masterpiece is now housed in the Rome Museum and Roman Art Gallery. The relief, depicting a scene from Homer's Odyssey, captures the moment of recognition between Ulysses and his loyal servant Eurycleia. With his back turned, Ulysses reveals his true identity to Eurycleia by showing her the scar on his thigh, a wound inflicted by the Cyclops Polyphemus during his legendary journey home from the Trojan War. The relief's intricate details and lifelike figures, expertly carved from terra cotta, transport us back to ancient Rome and offer a glimpse into the daily life and mythology of the Romans. The round, decorative piece, with its vibrant colors and interior setting, adds an element of warmth and intimacy to the historical scene. This relief is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the stories and history of the past.
