EDITORS COMMENTS
Polyphemus, the Cyclops, 1929 (litho) by Newell Convers Wyeth captures a moment of epic proportions from Greek mythology. This stunning lithograph, part of a private collection, brings to life the legendary tale of The Odyssey. Published in George Herbert Palmer's edition of The Odyssey in 1929, this artwork depicts one of the most iconic episodes from Homer's ancient Greek epic poem. Polyphemus, the fearsome Cyclops and son of Poseidon, looms large as he attacks Ulysses and his men who are desperately trying to escape his clutches. The vivid colors and meticulous detail in this lithograph showcase Wyeth's mastery as an artist. With great skill and imagination, he portrays the sheer size and power of Polyphemus while capturing the intensity and heroism displayed by Ulysses. This print transports us back to a time when gods walked among mortals and heroes faced unimaginable challenges. It serves as a visual reminder of the enduring influence that ancient myths have had on literature throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel drawn into its narrative - witnessing both the fallibility of man against divine forces and our capacity for resilience in times of adversity. Wyeth's interpretation breathes new life into an age-old story; it is a testament to his artistic vision and talent. This lithograph invites us to explore not only Greek mythology but also our own human nature through its timeless themes.
