EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. Created by the talented artist Henry Justice Ford, it depicts the legendary hero Ulysses (Odysseus) unleashing his fury upon the suitors who had invaded his home during his long absence at the Trojan War and on his Odyssey. With bow in hand and arrow poised, Ulysses stands as a symbol of heroic strength and determination. His eyes burn with anger as he takes aim at those who dared to court his faithful wife Penelope. The intensity of this scene is heightened by the monochrome palette, emphasizing the raw emotion that drives Ulysses' actions. Ford's artistic prowess shines through in every detail of this composition. From the intricate folds of Ulysses' clothing to the tension visible in his muscular frame, each element contributes to an atmosphere charged with anticipation and retribution. This print is part of Tales of the Greek Seas, a collection curated by Andrew Lang in 1926. It serves as a testament to both ancient Greece's rich mythological heritage and Ford's ability to bring these timeless stories to life through art. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Ulysses' unwavering loyalty, bravery, and resilience - qualities that continue to inspire us today.
