EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the legendary scene of Odysseus in the palace of Circe, as followers of the hero are transformed into swine while feasting. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of the German School artist bring this mythological moment to life, capturing the magic and enchantment that permeate Greek mythology.
The illustration is taken from "Hellas. Das Land und Volk der Alten Griechen" by Wilhelm Waegner, a renowned work that delves into the rich history and culture of ancient Greece. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the power and cunning of Circe, a powerful witch who uses her sorcery to deceive Odysseus's men.
As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the oinks and grunts of the unfortunate companions turned into swine by Circe's dark magic. The opulence of her palace contrasts sharply with their animal forms, creating a sense of unease and wonder at the same time.
This engraving serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal and fascination with Greek mythology, where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals in tales that continue to captivate audiences centuries later. The skillful rendering of this scene makes it a timeless piece that will continue to inspire awe for generations to come.
