EDITORS COMMENTS
Pictures of the Year - VIII. 'Ulysses and the Sirens' is an enchanting print depicting a scene from Greek mythology, specifically from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The image is an interpretation of John William Waterhouse's painting, 'Ulysses and the Sirens,' which was completed in 1891. The print, published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' between July and December of 1891, captures the moment when the hero Ulysses, tied to the mast of his ship, resists the tempting song of the Sirens as his crewmen plug their ears with wax to avoid being lured to their deaths. The print showcases the Pre-Raphaelite artistic style, a movement that emphasized realistic depictions of nature and mythology. The image transports us to ancient Greece, with the ship sailing through the tranquil waters, surrounded by the rocky coastline and lush greenery. The Sirens, depicted as beautiful yet dangerous mythical creatures, are shown perched on rocks, their long hair flowing in the wind as they sing their enchanting melody. The print also highlights the heroic qualities of Ulysses, who, despite the allure of the Sirens, remains focused on his quest to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The image is a testament to the power of self-control and the importance of staying true to one's goals, even in the face of temptation. Overall, 'Pictures of the Year - VIII. 'Ulysses and the Sirens' is a captivating work of art that transports us to a time and place far removed from our own, yet still relevant to our understanding of human nature and the power of mythology.
