In this print titled "Calypso Takes Pity on Ulysses" we are transported into the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Henry Justice Ford in 1926, this ink-on-paper illustration brings to life a pivotal moment from Andrew Lang's "Tales of the Greek Seas". The scene depicts Calypso, a mesmerizing sea-nymph who has fallen deeply in love with the legendary hero Ulysses.
