This drawing is from my series ULYSSES, portraying a moment from Homer's Odyssey. Some of the moments are less iconic and more intimate than typically depicted. The long wandering hero Ulysses (Latin for Odysseus) encounters the gods, drifts aimless on the sea, converses with the dead, listens as tales of his adventures are sung to him, and masquerades as a beggar in his own home. He experiences all this while deeply lamenting lost time, eager to unite with family and friends.
"...then entered [Ulysses] into the palace, closely resembling a beggar, an ancient and miserable vagrant, propped on a staff, who was wearing the vilest of clothes on his body. He sat down on the ash-wood threshold inside the doorway, leaning his back on a pillar of cypress wood." - Homer's The Odyssey (Rodney Merrill translation)
