EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a thrilling journey into the realm of Greek mythology. Entitled "The Adventure with Scylla" it is an illustration from Andrew Lang's Tales of the Greek Seas, created by the talented artist Henry Justice Ford in 1926. In this scene, we witness Odysseus and his brave crew facing their greatest challenge yet - Scylla, the fearsome six-headed monster. With its tentacle-like appendages reaching out menacingly towards their rowing boat, Scylla strikes terror into the hearts of all who dare to pass her cliff dwelling. Ford's intricate ink drawing skillfully captures both the intensity and danger of this mythical encounter. The men strain at their oars, desperately trying to escape Scylla's clutches while sacrificing some of their own to save others. It is a moment frozen in time that showcases both heroism and sacrifice in equal measure. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where legends like Homer's Odyssey were born. The attention to detail in every stroke invites us to immerse ourselves fully in this epic tale - feeling the tension as if we were right there alongside Odysseus himself. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythological stories and our eternal quest for adventure against insurmountable odds.
