EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Odyssey: The trial of the bow" takes us on a visual journey through ancient Greek mythology. Created by Newell Convers Wyeth, this colour lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The image depicts the legendary trial of the bow, an event that tests the strength and skill of Odysseus. As he stands before a crowd in ancient Greece, surrounded by towering columns and ornate architecture, Odysseus prepares to bend his bow - a symbol of power and heroism. This scene is taken from George Herbert Palmer's translation of The Odyssey published in 1929. Wyeth's attention to detail is evident as every line and brushstroke brings life to this mythological tale. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph enhance the drama and intensity of the story being told. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one man's determination against all odds. It reminds us that even heroes face challenges but with courage and perseverance they can overcome anything. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and how myths like those found within The Odyssey continue to captivate our imaginations today.
