EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the legendary tale of Circe, the enchanting and powerful magician from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Circe, the daughter of the Sun, is depicted here in all her mythological splendor, surrounded by the fluted columns of her ancient Greek temple. With a wave of her hand and a whispered incantation, she transforms unsuspecting men into beasts, as seen in this scene where she turns three hapless souls into a cow, a deer, and a pig. The men, once human, now find themselves in the throes of their new animalistic forms, their human faces replaced by the features of their new identities. Circe's magical abilities extend beyond just physical transformations, as evidenced by the wings sprouting from the back of the cow, and the crocodile-like tail of the pig. This image, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of ancient Greek mythology. The narrative of Circe and her magical powers, as told by Homer in The Odyssey, has captivated audiences for centuries, and continues to inspire artists, writers, and scholars alike. The classical artistry of this print, with its intricate details and stunning use of color, transports us back in time to a world of magic, myth, and wonder.
