EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Iliad: Iris dispatched by Zeus on Mount Ida to Troy" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Greek mythology. Created by George Percy Jacomb-Hood, this print captures a pivotal moment from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. In the image, we witness the divine messenger Iris being sent by Zeus himself from Mount Ida to Troy. With her vibrant wings spread wide and a determined expression on her face, she carries an important message that will shape the fate of both gods and mortals alike. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the rich history and legendary events surrounding the Trojan War. From the majestic landscape of Mount Ida in the background to every delicate line etched into Iris' figure, it is evident that Jacomb-Hood has poured his artistic skill into creating a visually stunning representation of this mythical scene. This print was originally commissioned for Walter Copland Perry's book, The Boys Iliad, published in 1902. It serves as a testament not only to Homer's enduring tale but also to how art can breathe new life into ancient stories. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the power and influence these mythological narratives continue to hold over our collective imagination. Through Jacomb-Hood's masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand one small fragment of an epic war that has captivated audiences for centuries.
