EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Athena guiding Telemachus in his search for Odysseus" by Armand Joseph Bonamy takes us on a journey through ancient Greek mythology. The print, part of a private collection, beautifully depicts Athena disguised as Mentor, leading the young Telemachus in his quest to find his father, Odysseus. The scene is taken from Jean-Baptiste Coissac's book "Le Retour d'Ulysse" published by Librairie Larousse in Paris around 1924. It showcases Athena's divine guidance and protection over Telemachus as they navigate the challenges and obstacles that lie ahead. The colours used in this lithograph add depth and vibrancy to the mythical world it portrays. They bring life to the characters and emphasize their significance within Greek culture and literature. Bonamy skillfully captures the essence of this mythological tale, highlighting not only the bond between mentor and mentee but also shedding light on themes such as heroism, loyalty, and familial love. As we gaze upon this artwork from the early twentieth century, we are reminded of Homer's epic poems that have shaped our understanding of ancient Greece. The image serves as a visual representation of an enduring story that continues to captivate audiences today. Incorporating elements of religion, travel, and adventure into its narrative, this lithograph invites us to delve deeper into Greek mythology while appreciating its artistic beauty.
