where can i find pictures of the Odyssey?

Question

ive tryed dogpile,yahoo and google

Answer 1

The best pictures of the Odyssey I have ever seen were in a film called The Search for Ulysses produced for CBS News by Carousel Films some forty years ago. It takes you to all the places identified as the possible sites for Odysseus' adventures as well as explanations of natural phenomena that might have given rise to the tale, like Scylla and Charybdis. The voice over is by Charles Kuralt.

It is a bit hard to access now, but if you go to the website listed below and enter your zip code or state, you will find the nearest library that has a videotape. I think there was a book illustrated with stills from the film, but I can't locate my copy right now--or anything on Yahoo.

A more recent book, however, takes the same tack. It is The Ulysses Voyage: Sea Search for the Odyssey (1987) by Tim Severin. A "voyage recreation" book, it sets out to prove that Homer's Odyssey could possibly be true, and that aspects and elements of the story are still there to be seen by the informed and the observant traveller. The travellers supposedly used a replica of a ship like Ulysses'.

Of course, there are literally hundreds of illustrated editions of The Odyssey or picture books that are retellings of the adventures of Ulysses. Your public library or a major-size bookstore will probably have several. The two best ones I have in my collection--both interesting, neither outstanding--are (1) The Wanderings of Odysseus (1996), a retelling by Rosemary Sutcliff illustrated with, delicate, soft-toned watercolors by Alan Lee, beautiful but not rugged or authentic enough to suit me; and (2) The Legend of Odysseus (1987) by Peter Connolly from the Oxford University Press series called "Rebuilding the Past."

The latter book tells the life story of Odysseus from childhood on, including tales from both the Iliad and the Odyssey. It has maps and a few photographs of sites, illustrations of the narrative (more robust than Alan Lee's), and information pages illustrated from ancient art and artifacts. This book won the [London] Times Information Book Award. The information pages cover topics such as ships, helmets, body armour, weapons, burial rites, palaces, and the like.

Frankly, I didn't find anything very interesting on the Internet, but I didn't spend long searching. There were 515,000 entries for "Odyssey illustrations."

Good luck in finding what you want!
