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 smiling, the goddess bright-eyed [Minerva] stretched out a hand to caress [Ulysses]; she likened her form to a woman beautiful, noble in stature, and skilled in glorious handwork; raising her voice she spoke, and in these winged words she address him" - Homer's The Odyssey (Rodney Merrill translation)
