EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Odyssey: Odysseus and Calypso" we are transported to the ancient world of Greek mythology. Created by George Percy Jacomb-Hood, this print captures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic tale, The Odyssey. The scene depicts the enchanting island of Ogygia, where the hero Odysseus finds himself trapped for seven long years under the spell of Calypso, a beautiful nymph. With intricate detail and skillful craftsmanship, Jacomb-Hood brings to life the emotional intensity between these two characters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel Odysseus' longing for his homeland and his desperate desire to continue his journey back to Ithaca. The artist masterfully portrays Calypso's seductive allure as she tries to persuade him to stay with her forever. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Walter Copland Perry's book "The Boys Odyssey" in 1901. It serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most enduring stories – a tale that explores themes of perseverance, temptation, and the power of destiny. Through its rich symbolism and historical significance, this print invites us into an ancient world filled with adventure and mythical creatures. It reminds us that even in our own modern odysseys through life's challenges, there is always hope for triumph over adversity.
