EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ulysses and the Sirens" transports us to the mythical world of ancient Greece. The image, a colour lithograph created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a pivotal moment from Greek mythology. Ulysses, also known as Odysseus, is depicted sailing past the treacherous sirens. In this scene, Ulysses and his crew are navigating through perilous waters filled with enchanting sirens whose mesmerizing songs lure sailors to their doom. With great determination and cunning intellect, Ulysses orders his men to plug their ears with wax while he himself is tied to the mast of his ship. This strategic move allows him to resist the irresistible allure of the siren's song. The artwork beautifully portrays both danger and temptation; it showcases Ulysses' strength of character as he resists succumbing to desire for knowledge at any cost. It serves as a reminder that even in our own lives we must navigate through challenges and temptations with wisdom and resilience. This particular print was originally created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Greek Story and Song" published in 1903. Its inclusion within this private collection highlights its significance not only as a work of art but also as a visual representation of timeless myths that continue to captivate audiences around the world today.
