John William Waterhouse and the Odyssey

This is Circe Offering the Cup to Odysseus (1891). It's hard to see at bottom right, but there is at least one of Odysseus' men who has been turned into a pig. Odysseus himself is visible in the mirror.

Waterhouse revisited Circe the next year in Circe Invidiosa (Jealous Circe) (1892), shown below, which shows a scene from Ovid's Metamorphosis when she is putting a magic potion into the well where her rival Scylla is going t0 bathe. Scylla is turned into the multi-headed sea monster we know in the Odyssey.

The third Waterhouse Circe is The Sorceress (c. 1911-1915) and it's clearly Circe, since her name is on the back of the canvas. More leopards; no men.

Then there his well known painting of the Sirens: Ulysses and the Sirens (1891).

This is The Siren (1900).

This one is Penelope and the Suitors (1912).
