The Hope of Return

This work recounts a new episode of Poseidon’s wrath, where Odysseus is rescued by the Phaeacians. Moved by his stories of adventure and suffering at sea, King Alcinous offers him a ship and sailors so he can return to his beloved homeland, Ithaca.

The play represents the transition from despair to hope. The figure emerging from the water on the left, resembling a head rising from the sea, symbolizes the hope that Odysseus’s return is ever closer.
