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.
"...[Jupiter] struck the swift ship with a scintillating bolt of his lightning so in the midst of the wine-dark sea it would shatter to pieces. All of the others with me were destroyed, my noble companions, while I, taking the keel of the tractable ship in my arms, was carried ahead nine days" - Homer's The Odyssey (Rodney Merrill translation)
