EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Circe, the powerful goddess of magic and witchcraft, is depicted sending Ulysses' companions to the styes, transforming them into swine. The artist, Henry Justice Ford, skillfully brings this ancient tale to life with his detailed illustration. The image showcases the dramatic consequences of crossing paths with a deity like Circe. Her divine powers are evident as she effortlessly changes these men into helpless animals. The composition emphasizes her dominance over them, highlighting her position as both a feared and respected figure in Greek mythology. Andrew Lang's Tales of the Greek Seas serves as the inspiration for this artwork, providing an intriguing glimpse into ancient Greece and its rich mythological traditions. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the scene while evoking a sense of timelessness. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to an era where gods and goddesses held sway over mortals. It reminds us of the enduring power that myths have had on human imagination throughout history. This piece serves as a testament to our fascination with legends and their ability to captivate our minds even in modern times.
