This print, titled "HOMER: THE ODYSSEY. Odysseus victorious over the suitors of his wife" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the epic tale of Homer's Odyssey. Created by talented artist Willy Pogany in 1918, this drawing beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the story. In this scene, we witness Odysseus standing triumphantly amidst a pile of fallen suitors who had vied for his wife's hand during his long absence. The intensity is palpable as Odysseus, adorned in a formidable helmet and uniform of an ancient hoplite warrior, brandishes his spear with confidence and determination. His victory is not only physical but also symbolic - it represents the restoration of order and justice after years of turmoil.
