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 came up and approached me the spirit of my dead mother, old Antikleia... seeing her there I wept, in my heart felt sorrow and pity... I wanted to take in my arms that spirit of my dead mother. Thrice I started for her, as my heart bade me to embrace her; thrice from my arms she fluttered away like a dream or a shadow. So in the depths of my heart my sorrow became even sharper." - Homer's The Odyssey (Rodney Merrill translation)
