This time the theme of the collection is Ulysses encounters with the divinities present in the Odyssey… as if they were the covers of a Silver Age comic.
And why not, set it all in a famous painting.
The collection consists of the following original illustrations:
“ Se Nettuno fracassò nobile nave,
Che i vasti flutti combatteano e i venti,
Tanto che pochi dal canuto mare
Scampâr nôtando a terra e con le membra
Di schiuma e sal tutte incrostate, e lieti
Su la terra montâr, vinto il periglio... ”
Poseidon's revenge and the shipwreck of Ulysses with his companions ... Some enemies would be better left alone.
Cameo painting:
Autore: Titolo: Anno:
Katsushika Hokusai “La grande onda di Kanagawa” 1830 ca.
“ Credete voi forse che a casa, alla terra dei padri
si vada? Ma un altro viaggio segnava a noi Circe,
alle case dell'Ade e della tremenda Persefone,
a interrogare l'anima del tebano Tiresia... ”
The descent into the ADE of Ulysses and the ascent. Only after hell, we can find heaven.
“ E all’isola Eolia arrivammo; qui stava
Eolo Ippotade, caro ai numi immortali,
nell’isola galleggiante: tutta un muro di bronzo,
indistruttubile, la circondava, nuda s’ergeva la roccia...”
When everything seemed lost, Aeolus comes to the rescue of Ulysses bringing the sea winds as a gift.
In every trip, worthy of the name, you meet a friend ...

Théodore Géricault “La zattera della Medusa” 1818-19 ca.
" Della Tritonia bellicosa diva,
Che qual più aggrada a lei, tale mi forma:
Ora un canuto mendicante, e quando
Giovane con bei panni al corpo intorno:
Però che alzare un de' mortali al cielo,
O negli abissi porlo, è lieve ai numi..."
When now exhausted Ulysses arrived at the gates of Ithaca, he had to find a way to go unnoticed ... And Athena came to his aid, transforming him into an elder.
With each return, you have to change to look even more like yourself.
