EDITORS COMMENTS
This line drawing, inspired by the epic poem "Homer: The Odyssey" transports us back to ancient times. Created in 1805 by John Flaxman, it depicts a pivotal moment when the fearsome Harpies descend upon the terrified daughters of Pandarus. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as the young girls cower in fear while these monstrous creatures approach with menacing wings outstretched. The delicate strokes of Flaxman's illustration capture both the vulnerability of the girls and the terrifying power of the Harpies. "Homer: The Odyssey" is an early masterpiece that takes us on a journey through Greek mythology and warfare during the Iron Age. It tells tales of gods, goddesses, heroes, and monsters - all woven together into a timeless narrative. Flaxman's artwork beautifully complements Homer's poetry, bringing to life this particular episode from "The Odyssey". Through his skilled hand, we can almost hear their cries for help and feel their desperation. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with storytelling throughout history. This piece serves as a visual testament to our fascination with ancient myths and legends that continue to captivate audiences even today.
