EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white drawing, we are transported back to ancient Greece as we witness a pivotal moment in the epic tale of "HOMER: THE ODYSSEY". The artist, Willy Pogany, skillfully captures the intensity and determination on Odysseus' face as he bends his bow in contest with the suitors of his wife. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation. Odysseus stands tall and proud, his muscular frame showcasing years of hardship and adventure. With one hand gripping the bow tightly, he pulls back on its string with unwavering strength. His eyes are fixed on the target before him - a symbol of victory and reclaiming what is rightfully his. Meanwhile, surrounding him are a group of suitors vying for Penelope's hand in marriage. Their expressions range from disbelief to arrogance as they watch Odysseus effortlessly bend the formidable weapon that none other could master. They now realize their futile attempts to win her over pale in comparison to this heroic figure who has returned after years away at war. This drawing not only showcases Pogany's artistic talent but also serves as a powerful reminder of Homer's timeless story about love, loyalty, and resilience. It encapsulates the essence of Odysseus' character - cunning yet compassionate, determined yet vulnerable - making it an exquisite addition to any collection or space dedicated to celebrating classical mythology.
