EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of ancient Greek mythology, Odysseus, the legendary hero of Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey," is depicted in his harrowing descent to the underworld, or the Kingdom of the Dead, to seek the wisdom of the blind prophet Tiresias. The scene unfolds with Odysseus, dressed in the finest robes and adorned with precious jewels, standing before the entrance to the underworld, a chilling and ominous cavern. He is accompanied by his loyal crew, who have helped him prepare for this perilous journey with lavish sacrifices to the dead. The offerings, piled high on a cart, include sheep, goats, and cattle, their blood pooling at the foot of the entrance, a testament to the hero's determination and the gravity of the situation. As Odysseus and his men approach the underworld, they are met by Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of Hades. With the help of Circe, who had given him a magical herb to render him invisible, Odysseus manages to pass unnoticed, leaving his men behind to face the wrath of the fearsome beast. Once inside, Odysseus encounters the shade of Tiresias, who, despite his blindness, is renowned for his ability to see the future. The hero seeks his counsel to learn the fate of his lost comrades and the way home after the long and treacherous journey of the Odyssey. The consultation with Tiresias marks a pivotal moment in the epic poem, as Odysseus gains crucial insight into the challenges that lie ahead and the eventual fate of his crew and himself. This evocative print, from the extensive collection of classical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, transporting us back to a time of heroes, gods, and the eternal quest for knowledge and wisdom.
