EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ulysses Shoots the First Arrow at the Wooers, from Tales of the Greek Seas by Andrew Lang, 1926" transports us to a world of legend and heroism. Created with ink on paper by Henry Justice Ford, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In this scene from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, Ulysses stands tall and determined as he takes aim with his bow and arrow. His eyes are fixed on his targets - the pretendants who have been vying for his wife Penelope's hand in marriage during his long absence. With precision and strength, Ulysses prepares to unleash an arrow that will seal their fate. The composition is rich in symbolism; we see a golden cup lying shattered at Ulysses' feet, representing the destruction of greed and arrogance. As Athena watches over him from above, her presence serves as a reminder of divine intervention in Ulysses' quest for justice. Ford's meticulous illustration brings this ancient tale to life with intricate details such as Ulysses' quiver filled with arrows ready for action. The intensity captured within each stroke of ink showcases Ford's mastery as an artist. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from "Tales of the Greek Seas" we are reminded of the timeless power behind myths and legends that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
