6/26: Odyssean images

One of my students had a scene from the Odyssey painted for me as a sabbatical present.  The painting is now done, and he sent me a photo of it today.  So kind and cool of him!

And I spent part of my Friday writing time with Manuela Adreani's spread of Odysseus and Leucothea.  Though it's not how I picture of the woman-turned-goddess and what she adds to the Odyssey, there is much that's arresting about the image.  (It made me gasp a little when I turned the page in the book and came upon it.)
