EDITORS COMMENTS
Odysseus and Calypso, 1929 (litho) by Newell Convers Wyeth captures the timeless allure of Greek mythology. This lithograph, published in The Odyssey of Homer by George Herbert Palmer in 1929, brings to life the legendary tale of Odysseus and his encounter with the enchanting nymph Calypso. In this vibrant artwork, we witness Odysseus, a heroic figure from the Trojan War, standing on a colorful island surrounded by crystal-clear waters. His nakedness symbolizes vulnerability and resilience as he navigates through treacherous trials on his journey back home. By his side stands Calypso, an alluring nymph who has held him captive for years with her seductive charms. The lithograph's rich colors and intricate details transport us into the world of ancient Greece. It beautifully illustrates the power struggle between mortals and gods while exploring themes of love, temptation, and destiny. As one of two major epic poems attributed to Homer, The Odyssey holds immense significance in Western literature. Its enduring legacy is reflected in this artwork's portrayal of mythological figures intertwined with human emotions. This print serves as a visual reminder that even amidst fantastical legends and divine intervention lies a story deeply rooted in our shared humanity.
