EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ulysses and his dog" we are transported back in time to the ancient world of European culture and heroes. The image, inspired by the renowned epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer, beautifully captures a poignant moment between Ulysses and his loyal companion, Argos. As Ulysses returns home after years of wandering, disguised as a beggar, he is met with neglect from those who once knew him. However, amidst this cold reception stands Argos - an embodiment of unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. Despite being old and neglected himself, the faithful hound recognizes his master instantly. Through this powerful visual representation, we witness the depth of their bond; their eyes meet with unspoken understanding that transcends time itself. It is a testament to the enduring connection between humans and animals throughout history. This artwork not only celebrates ancient civilization but also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across centuries. The Rev. Alfred J. Church's written account comes alive through John Flaxman's intricate illustrations in this 1878 publication by Seeley, Jackson & Halliday in London. "Ulysses and his dog" invites us to reflect on themes such as loyalty, companionship, resilience, and the indomitable spirit that resides within all heroes - both human and canine alike.
